@tej What I’m thinking now is to do that to get the built up finish off and then colour the hole with soft graphite pencil lead and go over again until I’m back to wood, I think I only need to remove...

@tej Only concern now is that the bridge is a very tight fit in the mount holes, I hadn't masked off the bridge post holes when I lacquer my current build, so the holes have shrunk with all the lacq...

Scrap wood is starting to look like something. It was intended to be a practice before using the expensive wood That's looking good @Rocknroller912 you can't beat a bit of scrap wood.

After this pink sparkle guitar landed in America, my friend made a neck for it and installed the custom pickups into a nice white scratch plate. This is a collaboration with three guitar builders, mys...

@thepath I can see both videos on my andriod phone. Thanks for taking the time to investigate this.

@powerful I'll be watching with interest how you get on with the kit. I'm planning on building an acoustic sometime, just working my way up to it.

@electricstringtheorygmail.com First of all welcome the group. I think you've had the best advice from Mark already if you want to keep a natural finish, I wouldn't want to hide that beautiful wood ei...

Does this video work for people? @boo yes this video works for me. Sorry about the late reply.

@boo @clinton It's not just Clinton's latest video that I've had this problem with, it's also been the two or three before that.

@clinton Re posting. What about now Still just audio for me my android phone. I'll try my tablet later, maybe need that to see the psychedelic effect that @boo is getting.

@clinton For some reason I'm only getting soundtracks from what I'm assuming are videos that you're posting. Is anyone having this problem? Attachment : Screenshot_20210903-150321_Samsung Internet...

@wayne_f Youve made a great start there, looks like you're very organised and methodical, thats a good way to work. On my first guitar, I kind of made it up as I went along, making templates and jigs ...

My other hand is stuck now too! Ahhhhhhhhhh……… What a nightmare @boo. I've got an image in my head now of Frank Spencer building a guitar.

Another little step forward, the waterslide decals are on the headstock now. Attachment : 20210830_175744.jpg

Welcome to the group @wayne_f , what are you planning on building? Post a photo of your drawing and let us have look.

@boo Yes I normally buy it in coils rather than in straight lengths (although I do buy straight lengths sometimes). One good place I get it from is Tone Tec Thanks for that, I'll have a look. I boug...

Looking good @boo Do you buy your fretwire pre rolled and where do you buy it from. I'm planning build #003 now while waiting for lacquer to harden.

Thanks for taking the time with that comprehensive advice @boo . I'll get it prepped for more lacquer and wait for the right weather conditions again before spraying.

Hi @boo can I have some of your expert advice please. I'm up to 12 coats of laquer now and sanded with 1000 grit and got rid of all the tiny runs and ripples that I couldn't see before I sanded. Shou...

Sounds good @darrenking. I've never heard my guitar played by someone that can actually play.
