I've made a little bit of progress, not a lot as its too cold to be out in the garage for long. The headstock is shaped and thicknessed, still going to plan so far. Attachment : 20201230_162323.jp...

Hi James I'm in two minds about your logo font. To keep with the Mackintosh style, then straight, and I think that suits the gibson style headstock. I would say the sloped one looks better on the tap...

Hi James I’m just riffing on a font based on the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh I like the Mackintosh style, that looks good. Maybe you should consider reshaping the end of your headstock to matc...

Hi Matt Lookin’ good! Which pickups, tuners, bridge are you going for? This is a Bailey kit that I've got so the pickups and bridge are Wilkinson and the tuners are Gotoh. Ash body and maple neck.

Hi Matt why doesn’t the edit button work?!? When I get it very wrong, I copy the text then delete the post and paste into a new one, then edit before before sending. Don't know why the edit button ...

Hi Marcel My wife knitted a warm scarf for me. My wife knitted me a warm jumper. I encourage her to keep knitting, just so I can point out that I've only made one guitar while she's been knitting al...

Merry Christmas Jonathan, I hope Santa brings your Amazon soon.

Don't get me wrong Matt, I do like my socks. But a Boss Waza Air would've been nice though. I'd like to build an acoustic too, and like you Tony, I think the best option would be to build it in the Ba...

Hi Rich That looks fantastic, the matching logo on the trussrod cover is a nice wee touch.

Hi Clinton but it is 3/4 inch thick(20mm). Is that thick enough for strenght and stability? How about gluing bits on to thicken the ends for the the heel and headstock

It’s a hole for the jack socket that is in between the edge and back of the guitar. 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 m...

Bigger how? Length, thickness or girth? Well she's wondering if bass's go deeper. 😉

Sorry Boo, Am I ever going to get a sensible, straight answer to my question? I forgot that there was a sensible question. The bandsman template that I printed out measures the same as yours.

It’s what you do with it, not how big it is Strangely enough my wife was just asking yesterday if bass players have a bigger one.

Hi Mark But you need to assemble the guitar to do this and it is not neccessary. Not such a bad idea tho...at least you will know for sure - but once you have done a few you realise it is not so diff...

Hi Rich tailpiece was installed first and then guitar was strung, and then bridge was placed in and moved about until correct intonation was found - wondered if anybody has tried it that way? Thats ...
