Thanks Robin that's a massive help! Much appreciated! Let us know if that works for you.

Hi Matt Don’t you at least have a jigsaw or maybe you could borrow one? Not the greatest I know but probably a better choice then a router... I do have a jigsaw, it works ok for thin stuff and mdf, ...

Hi Matt. I hope these ants in your pants aren't nipping your ash to much. That's tough not getting to your workshop with it being so close. Can't you order some mdf online for delivery to you. I'm luc...

Attachment : 3_way_import.jpg This might be your switch, if it is then : Solder a link wire between pins 1 & 2 and 6 & 7. Solder Red bridge pickup wire to pin 1 and black to ground. Solder...

Attachment : 20210108_142010.jpg does this diagram help at all. I would guess that all your black wires are grounds, and your red and black wires are the yellow wires in this diagram. The extra...

Hi Peebee 06/01/2021 6:34 pm @robin, you can also line the neck pocket template with tape just to shrink a little and give a snug fit. That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that.

Another satisfying moment carving the vellute today. I watched the course video again last night, then followed Mark's instructions and the vellute miraculously appeared. Attachment : 20210106_182...

Hi Peebee Its worth noting that there is a difference though and it may / will affect the neck pocket size, so follow this part of the on-line course with a note of caution I would suggest. My heel ...

Hi Peebee Mark says 480mm between them on his video, but for me at the 22nd fret using a 25inch scale the distance between the nut at 43mm and the 56mm 22nd fret I made 457mm, from the scale length c...

The pickups, less so ... When you fancy a trip down that particular rabbit hole, take a look at the Iron Gear website. Ridiculously good VFM (made in China, but designed in UK and made to good QC st...

Hi Tony I was wondering where you were. Sounds like you've had a rough time of it, glad to hear that that you've survived.

Hi Bill Thats a neat build, I've spotted the unusual tuners, they look clever.

Hi Boo I do, however, want to find a way to drill that hole. I need to make a funky jig and do some testing. If had gone ahead with it, I was going to saw and plane the facet, then cut a recess wit...

I've never liked the strat socket on the front, but I like the idea of it recessed in the back edge like that, I might just do that on my current build. I've been doing a little bit of sketching with...

. I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. I've got an ancient tin of Galvafroid paint, I painted some on a peice of wood as a test, but it wasn't conductive.

Happy new year to you all from a quiet locked down Scotland.

Rainbow Birmingham Odeon 1976. It must have been about then that I saw Rainbow at the Ingliston Exhibition Hall in Edinburgh, my first concert that I can really label as rock. Probably responsible fo...

@boo I love shape of your headstock and the grain pattern, looks ace Thank boo, it's a bit like opening a lucky bag when you cut the angle on the headstock, sometimes you're lucky.
