@Clinton That would be tricky taking the material off on top of the binding. Thanks Clinton, challenge accepted. 🙂

Truly is what I look forward to in my life these days. Puts a smile on my face. Very happy with this one. Gonna burst this one That looks really good @clinton. Did you route a groove for the binding ...

@russ Here's the image of what is trademarked and some of the text. My take on the disclaimer is that its the post positions that are relevant, regardless of the headstock shape. Personally, if I want...

@russ Following your link, I found this link that shows that MusicMan does have a 4+2 headstock image trademarked and renewed last year.

@boo We are all like-minded I think that is the key, we are all like minded. I think its great that the more experienced guitar makers take the time to help and advice beginners like myself.

Success with redrilling the tuner holes today. Glued the plugs in yesterday and sanded flat today. Plunged a 3mm hole with my dremel the drilled with a 4mm to 12mm step drill. I drilled each step from...

@eddie6string Increasing hole diameters. Preferred options due to gentle nature of cutting angles coupled with centralised orientation That looks like the set of step drills that I've got, plus on...

@edwin Maybe a useful tip: Use your Dremel with the plunge base to drill a straight 2 mm pilot hole and gradually widen it with 4, 6, 8 etc drill bits until you've got the right diameter. You will no...

@boo Just edited out my finger prints. I’m so paranoid these days, identity theft. I did think it was strange that the bandsaw was so clean when I dusted for prints. 🙂

@boo These are handy looking tools. I'm sure I can use my dremel with it's plunge base to get me a straight hole to start with, then open it up with my step drill.

Hi @matt I guess you don’t know anyone with a drill press? Maybe someone here could whiz up a drill guide out of scrap wood and send it to you? Something like this: There's a couple of local workpla...

Simple temporary jig but effective. It will wear out eventually. Just simply make another. Just make sure scraps are square to start. Hi @Clinton, that is actually the method that I used. I'm obvious...

@matt but you might consider removing a little wood with a file or reamer to get them in there, it shouldn’t take too much?!? I did consider that, but don't want to have loose sloppy fit. I'd rather...

@boo Top drawer Robin, I’m proud of you for being proud of what you have done. I'll take that as a compliment, I think!

@eddie6string I always drill undersized holes where possible and finish with a taper reamer. It can allow you to correct minor errors like yours I like that idea. Hopefully I'll be reunited with my...

@Rocknroller912 In the photo at the top I noticed that you have a router. Or if a drill bit is too long you could use a small diameter router bit. That's the way I'm thinking. I've also got a plung...

Build #002 had been going so well until I did a trial fit of the tuners yesterday. I've drilled all 6 holes consistently off square and the tuners won't sit flat. I couldn't use my bench drill, it's o...

(similar to when you route the control cavity and then route for the cavity cover (a nice plastic one That reminds me, I haven't routed deep enough for a nice wooden control cavity cover, I must rem...

Hey @robin. When you did your practice build, can I ask how you got your body and neck blacks to the right size to work on? Hi @russ, depends what size you're referring to. The neck was a planed pl...

@mattbeels Awesome! You did a very fine job on that Robin! Tip top, you can be proud of that! Thanks Matt, yes I am quite pleased with it.😊
