Professional builders aren’t offended by customers having specific requirements like no black plastic. @rocknroller912 (& @mattbeels). There's a story to this guitar. When I did my first BYOG wor...

We decided on the very large flake in the end, it looks good. It never looks brilliant at this first stage but it will once I get a shine on it. Right now it’s quite like sand paper, P80 grade i recon...

Well done Steve! I think the white stuff is 3mm x 3.15 mm so maybe you had it the wrong way round or maybe it got stretched as it was probably not new. Sorry for the hassle... I've sent you a new piec...

What do you do on a sunday when you are avoiding the kids and the "honey-do list"? You go sit in the shop with a beverage and make a few templates while contemplating the next build. 🙂 Attachment :...

@rocknroller912 Ahhh..... I see. Very interesting, I’ll look into it further. Thanks for the enlightenment. 👍

Hi Tej, Thanks for the welcome and advice. It's going to be a fun journey. 😀

Hi Cheesewhisk, I live just outside of York although I'm originally from the badlands(lancashire) 😉 Yep I adore Yorkshire. I don't think I'd ever leave here. Good to know others with the same...
