Sanding of the sides: done. Facets towards heel and tail: done. Kerfed lining for the back: done.Although a bit sloppy cut work there, I am afraid my notches are a bit on the big side. Here and there ...

@rocknroller912 It’s a great method. How would you go about doing the opposite thing, do you think? If the neck had a back bow? 🤔

FYI: Fretwire is available with different tang widths - so it fits tighter or looser in the slot to allow for both forward and back bow situations like this. We used to call it 'repair wire' and it wa...

They say that, since they are thicker, there is less energy lost and the guitar should vibrate more. As an engineer I'm inclined to agree with this. I see the sides as a structure to support the soun...

Good to see so many of us virtual friends on Thursday 🙂 @rocknroller912 @koendb @jamesbisset @steeveedee This coming Tuesday might be a bit soon, so how about the following Tuesday @8pm (UK time) agai...

Well, today, I did some final touch ups on the curves of the sides and they now remained within a few mm from where they should be sitting.Then sanded the sides with 80, 120 and 240. Next: Kerfed Lini...

I realised that because I was spraying gold over the whole lot, including the purple. Guess what happened? Yep, the purple turned more and more red as I sprayed more coats of gold on. The gold is effe...

I tried to wipe off some of the gold from the purple but I just rubbed all the way through to the silver flake (sealed with clear coat, obviously). Attachment : A4A18786-B36A-46F1-8438-8DF0DFAB03...

So, it wasn’t going to work. 😔 I soaked shop towels in thinner (reducer) and wiped all the candy off (purple and gold), right back to the blank canvas of the flake again. Attachment : 7BD...

I’ve just found something online that I find interesting. Some older guitars/stringed instruments don’t have truss rods installed in the necks. So, how could you adjust a bow in said necks if needed? ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle. @rocknroller912 Ah I did not know that. Luckily for me, it seem...

@powerful That is coming together nicely! I can only hope my attempt will end up as clean as yours 🙂
