@tv101 hey, did you happen to go through with the ash neck in the end?

@somethingnicer Yeah exactly that, don’t take the neck out. 😆 Yeah, take the bridge and all the other hardware off and prep the hell out of anything you want paint to stick to. Definitely mask...

When you say glue in, then strip it down and paint. You mean leave the neck in cuz we just glued it, right? so I would just remove hardware and the mask the hell out of the fretboard and other thing...

I have done it both ways. It’s certainly easier to paint the neck and body apart, before gluing them together. However, you must mask off the neck heal very accurately and the same with the neck pocke...

Quick question about the order of tasks.... In the lessons, Mark glues the neck and then applies the finish. But he's using a wipe on oil..... If I wanted to actually use paint as a finish, is that st...

@russ thanks for sharing this film. I had never seen it before and enjoyed it, particularly the definition of a luthier.

Hello Peeps, I've been watching this over again recently and I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated wee space for it here on the forum for you all to watch it...... Fantastic! 🙌Ἷ...

T style neck after spraying, along with an S style. No polishing at all at this stage and after this I only hand rubbed it with polishing oil and Tripoli powder. Attachment : IMG_5172.mov At...

@jamesbisset It does have more of electric guitar sound than piezo. Did the original models use flat wound strings or round wound ? A different magnetic response might produce a softer sound to the p...

Thanks Bill. 🙂 I used the guitar for a full gig at PrestFest 2024 on Sunday (where Bill saw me) and then up to Glasgow for Sammy’s Open Mic at the Glad Cafe. It certainly does a lot of the stuff I pla...

@jamesbisset I was very impressed with the final result when I heard it being played yesterday. FB is nicely finished and I like the way you have worked around some of the lamination problems. It’s n...

Good job sir!

There are probably better tools for this job but if you haven't got them and you are in a bind, then try this. I used a Forstner drill bit to create a recess for some neck ferrules. They were slightly...

Thanks @boo. I'm sure we will eventually meet up one day. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@russ Wow, that is a stunning picture. If you are down in Argyll again, you’ll be welcome here. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cheers @boo. On a different note. I almost gave you a shout as I was on holiday in Lunga last week but the grandchildren took up all my time. This was the sunset on our first night...... Attachmen...

Hello Peeps, Does anyone know if there is a difference between a Strat single coil pickup routing template and a Tele neck pickup routing template?......and is there a difference in the mounting rings...
