@somethingnicer Are you using a fret template and a fret slotting jig to make your fretboard? If you are then the template will have a notch marking the slot for the nut and then all the frets. Place ...

@russ got it…. So if I was to make a fretboard for a strat style guitar, would I just cut my slots and then just leave extra material at the top of the first fret? like for example, just start cutti...

@somethingnicer You couldn't use it in that way for a Strat style bolt on but you could do a Gibson style bolt on. If you did want a Strat style neck then you could put the nut right at the end of you...

Hello! I'm about to start my second guitar. I want this one to be a bolt on neck. I bought a precut (Gibson scale) fretboard from Stewart McD. I'm seeing in the bolt on course he has a "sacrificial" f...

Absolutely stunning!! Keep up the good work😃👍🎸

@mikeyrjiom Really nice work, Mike. Here's to the next 20. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Hello people of the guitar world. I haven't posted for quite some time now but thought I would update you on my journey since being bitten by the guitar makers bug and hitting a milestone in guitar bu...

Thanks @brie!More luck than judgement! 🤣

All three of them look great Dan, you’ve obviously put a huge amount of work into getting the finish looking so good.👍😃🎸

Hey @mikeyrjiom, thank you and appreciate the comments! I have to say, it's been a leaning curve and only now am I happy with the finishing. It's still not 100%, if you look very carefully the surface...

These look absolutely fabulous Dan @liebe I love the finish you get on them. I have persisted with Spray on Nitro up to now with varying degrees of success but think I will give this a try. Do you hav...

I've had to continue these builds in my spare time and, unsurprisingly, learning a new (to me) you're of finishing process want entirely smooth sailing. Anyway, thought I'd share some photos now I've...

Attachment : PXL_20240701_163211973.MP.jpg I thought I'd give a bit of an update as there seemed to be some interest in my finishing schedule of z-poxy as grain filler with brush on melamine lacqu...

How about an extension module to the electric guitar course... carving a top?

Long time no speak. I'll be mentioning Mark & Carol during my interview next Thursday on guitar makers collective podcast, and how useful Mark's media presence and instruction has been. Current...

I’ve used Iron Gear pickups on two guitars, they’ve been fantastic on both. It’d be really interesting to compare them side by side with premium branded ones with similar windings and magnets, I stron...

@nsj that’s good to know. I’m looking to make the next build a laminated neck with ash and mahogany now, also temping to throw something else into the mix. I’ve seen many examples of people using thin...

@nsj I used Eze Oil from David Dyke Luthier Supplies. Works very well.

@nsj 😆😆😆😆😆😆 That’s one way around it I suppose.
