@tv101 What's the best finish to use on a solid Ebony neck? I was playing my #002 build today and really like the feel of the neck, its still smooth and clean. I had a look back through my build p...

@swerpi That curly birch looks fantastic.

Hi @dave welcome to the group. Of the three necks I've made, the first was a plank of mahogany from a friends workshop, the second was maple from @markbailey and the third was laminated from the left...

@steveadams Good to see you back Steve anb another great video, I'm looking forward to seeing progress. You've prompted me to look at my current build and I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't made an...

@nsj I was wondering what the advantages of a roasted maple neck would be, so did a bit of googling too and came up with this, Improves tone of the wood (clearer and richer) Better tuning stabil...

@tv101 Thats a good looking guitar. Is that just reflection I'm seeing on the pickups in the last photo or have have you got some strange wiring going on there?

@nsj I'm now thinking about a possible steel barrel or such that I can suck the air out of and stick on a bed of hot embers, put something inside to support the maple. I think it's generally done und...

@nsj , I don't have all these router jigs like some people lol Have a wee break from making guitars and make some jigs, its just as much fun.

@norriemac That looks fantastic, well done.

@rathius I would fit all the dots fisrt, you're going to want to sand them flat.

@tv101 Points for anyone who spots it now ... Could it be that your new cap is going cover the neck screw holes?

@nsj Ok operation new neck is under way, the decision has been made. Look on the bright side, you get to do one of the fun parts again. I think carving the neck is my favourite part of guitar makin...

@nsj Can I fix this? Is it worth it? Is it likely to just remain an unstable piece of wood? I made the cap for my first build from a piece of warped mahogany that had been the floor from a boat. I s...

@nsj I see you've found how to add the photos then. A lot of nice work there, where are you buying all that lovely wood?

@nsj I'm using an android phone, there's a paper clip symbol labelled Attach Files just below the text box, clicking that pops up another window where I select "my files" where I can find my photos.

@nsj Welcome to the group from another fellow Scot here. I started during lockdown too, purely because I found Mark's livestreams and this group of helpful people. I'm still on my third build, but i...

@tv101 That looks good. I've never used a CNC router, but I'm just wondering if you had left it on the bed and re-ran (if thats possible) the stage that you had stopped , would it have taken off the ...

Suggest Me Which Type Of Guitar Is Best For Beginner? I'd suggest following the @markbailey course for your first build, its all laid out for you step by step.

@clinton Happened to me too. Depth stop on my router slipped. That turned out really well, I'd say that one was a happy accident.
