@bjarni If you're paying for premium membership then you should have access to all the courses, email Carol@baileyguitars.co.uk and i'm sure she'll sort you out. If you're paying supporter membership...

@somethingnicer Glue a shaving of wood into the recessed area, make it a good fit, and match the grain as best you can. Once you've sanded it down flush, I guarantee that no one else will notice it un...

@nsj Your fret marker fix is pure genius, I like it.

@somethingnicer Best to leave a lttle bit extra on the flat area for the nut. When you sand it to take the router marks off and leave a nice smooth finish, that will reduce the flat area a bit. So be ...

@somethingnicer I'm thinking that the wooden filler strip has been taped on to the trussrod to protect it during transport. Attachment : 20231120_180509.jpg This is what my trussrods look lik...

Thats a good comprehensive answer you've had from Brian. I'm a wee bit confused with your wooden truss rod, can you post a photo of that.

Hi @boo I've got that acoustic here at the caravan now if you still want it, I'm only here for a few days, I suspect by the time you see this post I'll be away again. Drop me an email, my email addre...

@swepri He then used his own special clamping device, made of a small block of wood and a tuner + string, from the outside to pull a small block on the inside while the glue hardened. The reinforcem...

I'm enjoying playing my acoustic, it feels so comfortable, I think I've got the body size just right for me. There's just one wee niggle. I've put the strap button in the middle of the heal and with i...

@somethingnicer Thanks for taking the time to tell us how you go about making your own pickups, thats interesting stuff. Do you experiment with different windings to get different sounds?

@tyreman Thats all looking good. If you're not happy with the string height, why not recess the bridge by the thickness of the plate to make it flush with the body, that would give you bit of room fo...

@somethingnicer You're right to focus on keeping the scale length correct And yes you can shorten the fretboard to the number of frets you want it to be. Your drawing looks fine to me, maybe just dou...

@russ Hope I can pop in sometime before you head to pastures new. My oldest son is back down living in Falkirk so I'm down regularly. Another time then.

@russ I'll be down in Falkirk today for the top of the league clash with Hamilton I'm in Polmont, about 3 miles from the Falkirk Stadium, your welcome to pop in after the game if want ( but not a w...

@boo Are you moving to another area or same region? We're looking at Dumbarton or near there, we need to be closer to our granddaughter. The tough bit is clearing out 35 years of accumulated junk ...

@swepri I've changed that now so anyone with the link should see it, if you'd like to try again.

@markbailey Maybe this link to my video will work, and I'll repeat, I'm not a player, I just play enough amuse myself. You did meet me in person briefly a few years ago, I came down to collect an el...

@boo I think I know the answer Yes, you know the answer, take off and do it properly. I looked at that bridge clamp before I glued mine on, it would be cheaper than buying three long clamps. But, w...

Thanks @boo , my mrs wasn't at all surprised when when I started talking about the next one. However, we're going to move house this year so I've promised no more guitars until we've moved.

@russ Thanks Russ, it was certainly a challenge and won't claim to have mastered it, but I have learned a lot.
