@clinton Could not do it earlier because of the hidden tenon. Gotta glue the neck first then put the cap on Ah yes, I understand now, I hadn't realised that it wasn't glued together. My fret crownin...

@clinton . My first attempt on a hidden Tenon. Kinda neat. Nice job. And not just a hidden tenon, you've hidden the pickup pockets and bridge posts too.

Hi @bodess, I'm also on my first build, and I'm sure that the more experienced builders will be along shortly with good advice. When I saw your photos on your fist post, I had assumed that it was a bo...

@boo I hope all goes well for you Robin and speedy recovery. Thanks for putting them right Boo, they need to pay more attention at tbe back of the class. Surgery went well yesterday, all went to pla...

Thanks all for your good wishes, hopefully I'll be home and back online for Saturday's livestream. Attachment : 20201026_171114.jpg

@boo I think that was for a curved one though and for single action. I’m not sure so I’ll go and check. It would be a lot easier if we could just buy them though. Thanks for your comment and I hope y...

@boo I too would be interested in purchasing a small truss rod so I can build one too I think that Mark has a video on making truss rods, so I guess you could make any length that you want.

@markbailey 27/10/2020 10:12 am @robin The earth can go to either post tailpiece or bridge - no difference - do what is easiest. I sometimes use a little epoxy in the hole if a little loose ...

Attachment : 20201026_171114.jpg My trial assembly went well, everything fitted and worked, once I'd got my head around the electrics and added a missing earth wire between the pots. I've strippe...

@markbailey Fingers crossed for ya! Looks the BIZ. Thanks Mark, a quick question, do I put my earth wire into the end stop post or the bridge post? And also my drill was a bit wobbly and the end ...

Iv'e sanded up to 240 grit now and glued on the neck. Maybe have a trial assembly tomorrow. Attachment : 20201023_194017.jpg Attachment : 20201023_194103.jpg

@e-den-hertog Looking good, I'm looking forward to seeing your build in progress.

@deej After further googling, I think that the Hagstrom F200p is the guitar that these terms were fitted to. I now think it's a Hagstrom FCS-1. The reason I'm trying to identify is that I haven't got ...

@deej. Thanks Deej, I think you're right.

I'm trying to identify the make of this trem thats fitted to my Tanglewood Tomkat, I like the single point string height adjustment. Iv'e read that it might be an Entwistle, does anyone recognize it. ...

The piece of veneer that TV101 kindly sent me is now glued to my headstock, what a transformation. Attachment : 20201018_173811.jpg Now you see it. Attachment : 20201020_125656.jpg Now...

@tv101 @robin - Postie should deliver a little package tomorrow. Hope it helps. The postman has been, thank you again Tony for sending these veneers to me. Iv'e tidied up the truss rod access slot ...

@tv101 "learning opportunity"! The common factor in my learning opportunities is the router. I need to spend some time learning to tame it, the fine adjustment seems to have a mind of it own.

@boo just accept that they happen. I haven't done anything that I haven't been able to overcome (yet), and I don't get myself worked up about it. I'm quite happy to document these little mishaps, it...

@eddie6string I had to splice a piece of Maple in matching the run/direction of grain, then cover with veneer. Isn't it fun finding a way to fix these little mishaps. I seem to be doing it more than...
