@cheesewhisk - it really depends on how noisy (in terms of electrical interference) an environment the player is going to be playing in. It's a nice touch, a good sign of "I'm a proper guitar builder"...

Made a patch to repair the top of this Strat too today. Attachment : 5ECA6FA9-1563-4EB0-BE44-D84E14135FDD.jpeg Attachment : 75E6DDB0-2AB7-44CF-AAA1-82495E3EF6E6.jpeg Attachment : D2...

OK, here we go. I still need to route it flush with the top but I made a routing template for the wooden plate that I’ll bond and pin in to cover the neck joint. I’ll then use more high build primer t...

It doesn’t matter where we are all from, so long as we are all having fun here. The world needs love right now because people like Plump (and others) are trying to divide us with hate. We are all diff...

Hey @rocknroller912. I was just watching the lovely Sharon Shannon on Fleadh TV this morning. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Sounds like you need a CNC router. I need a bigger wallet and space to put all these things. 🙂 To be honest, I like this tedious method as it is relaxing and I am training my patience and accuracy at...

Nice classical piece there @tv101 but do you know the difference between a rhinoceros and an orchestra? The horns are in the front and the asshole is in the back!

Thanks for the update @rocknroller912. Looks like its Farnell have it too;

usual utube adverts No such thing @Russ - adblock / uBlockOrigin.

Recently, I've been listening to Classic FM in the mornings ... which is OK until I get fed up of the same 4 ads that they play repeatedly!

Is the glue used for laminating compatible with normal wood glue I would always recommend that a repair patch of the type we are discussing be bonded with an structural adhesive such as epoxy rather ...

I happily converted to the metric system after moving to Germany, it’s soooo much simpler and more accurate imo. I still measure a few things in imperial like fretwire, action and scale length but pr...

, it’s soooo much simpler and more accurate imo. I think it's telling that machinists who work in Imperial (i.e. mostly Americans and old school British) work in thousands (or ten thousandths) of an ...

I don’t know how much difference it makes. Has it been measured? Or is it another myth of vintage guitar construction? @jamesbisset Just speculating here, but perhaps it isn't so much a myth as an ou...

I was reading something the other day about Gibson factory setting for string height. Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a problem with. The things that upset me are s...

Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a problem with. @robin I missed out on the whole Imperial thing, I was brought up on metric thank goodness.

Do you work in imperial measurements? I was reading something the other day about Gibson factory setting for string height. Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a probl...

@boo I like @Rocknroller912 's idea of replacing one big chunk and re-routing all the cavities. Then seeing @darrenking 's idea of a CNC repair block and matching template, I like that better. Maybe D...
