@tv101 do you believe carbon rods actually do anything? That somehow they'll stop a neck from twisting if it wants to? Personally I think it's a fad to sell us guitar people more stuff we don't need l...

Interesting to re-read this thread. I've got a neck-blank sized piece of Ash, quarter-sawn and not too heavy which I think I might just use on a future neck build. But maybe with some added carbon fi...

@tej Ash makes a beautiful neck, done a few myself with zero issues but I always do a volute which may or may not help. Northern/european ash. It's the denser , heavier hard one. Southern ash aka swam...

@mattbeels well sadly, after all this time I still have two pieces of ash for a body and some that I can use for a neck and no time to spend making a guitar out of it all. Since squired som mahogany t...

I went on Amazon and bought these. Attachment : IMG_0592.png Attachment : IMG_0591.png Yeaterday I used them for the first time. It was also the first time I ever routed any tremolo cavi...

Congratulations @robin (grandchild AND finding the electric fault)!

@tv101 I don’t use it at all anymore. Their software wasn’t quite up to snuff. Dunno if they ever updated it or not but it didn’t work as well as I had hoped nor as well as they had planned. At least ...

Looks like a wipe-on poly for the final top shiny shiny finish. I keep meaning to make some up and give it a go. I take it you have to be very careful when wiping the first coat on so as not to ruin t...

Interesting to watch the body finish evolve in (sort of) real time through the various stages. Request echo'd! Particularly the final coats that add the shine (what's in that tin?).

That looks like it could be a fun thing @rathius - what do you use it for?

Uhm…, I backed this project on Kickstarter back in 2020.

cool! you are now also making cool stuff out of wood , you are becoming a handyman @tv101 🤣 😉

I've had a Raspberry Pi set-up as a media server for a while, but headless and controlled via a browser app on a separate device. Plus it was in a bit of a naff perspex box. But it all worked quite w...

@nsj Ha, superb. Nice collection.

@nsj Very nice work again Neil. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Grab a gotoh nut, they're cheap but superb, front or rear mount and you can get a 43mm. Still keep most of the width that way. Might be an easier option because you could sand most of the extra away t...

Attachment : IMG_0584.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0586.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0587.jpeg So I have been making my necks 44mm wide at the nut but now I have a slight “issue” with that on my c...

Congratulations for you and your family @robin!

@tyreman Superb! A lovely build and inspiration for the rest of us. Proud of you man! ✊
