Cheers for answering my head stock questions on the live stream @markbailey In answer to your question 'how big is this headstock anyway?' it's here above, obviously under the thread entitled 'Neck An...

My neck heel carving is done now, that took forever to get to a shape that I'm happy with. I had to take off a bit more than I had intended, due to my first saw cut going a tad too deep. Attachment...

Lets chill for an hour or so while I make some sides - if you have any q's put them in the chat and Carol will get them to me - cheers!

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you to Mark and the folks at Bailey for making the videos! It's been a blast watching them and learning about making guitars. I am embarking...

I recently got into this band, there are so good! A really nice live performance! A shame that Duane died so young. My favorite song at the moment. Louis

Another top tip, mask off your nice light coloured maple neck while handling razor sharp snipped fretwires with frozen fingers, it keeps the blood stains off. @robin My workshop isn’t heated either s...

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 all! I did some more work on the guitar, some sanding and stuff. I will be installing the fretboard soon. I was thinking about giving my guitar a personal touch. I would like to have my name or s...

I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. @rocknroller912 I haven’t actually made any or experimented with making any but I have looked into it before. It is all inexpens...

Michael Schenker had mental health issues along with other related horrors, to contend with - on one occasion he was so excited to be joining the Scorpions on stage, that he smashed his favourite Flyi...

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing allright. Today i did some neck carving and routed the neck pocket. I also cut out the shape, it starts to look like a guitar. I also have a picture of the assemb...

My wife knitted a warm scarf for me.

it looks interesting @boo I now know what Mark means when he says that the 335 is a completely different beast from either a solid or an archtop, despite being a hybrid of both. I think I might be in...

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...

I got one of these. Beautifully packaged and can't wait to use it 😃 Attachment : 20201227_120038.jpg

My thoughts on pickup winding are that I can just try some of the variables and see what they sound like - vary number of winds, wire thickness and material, magnet type and strength, coil taps (as op...
