This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@tv1, @russ, @mattbeels, @Boo, @Koendb, @rocknroller912, (@russ),@tv1, @russ, @mattbeels, @Boo, @Koendb TY, I've modified the top upper bout to not have the cut-away horn, instead, it's going to have ...

The diagrams assume the person doing the soldering is familiar with the common practice in guitar wiring of soldering the terminal directly to the body to earth it Well I am now!😂😂

Ha! I’ve cracked it! In the original diagram I didn’t realise that the right hand terminal on the volume pot was also connected to earth, it just looked like it was missing (and therefore not being us...

Finally had some time to progress with the paint job on this bass, white racing stripes over the chameleon paint. This is plain white basecoat, I’ll put some pearl over it before unmasking it for clea...

Unmasked! Now it’s time for some clear coat. Attachment : E8251871-28AF-4DFF-AF59-D64E641CD9B7.jpeg Attachment : 0486F109-3153-4A50-83CB-2C0EC6DFF06D.jpeg

…turns out I calculated the price wrong, A5 sheet in two colours was quoted to me at just under 170, now I really can’t justify that. Think I’ll just buy a pen and learn to write neatly 🤔

Childhood photos of famous musicians, look closely. @rocknroller912 ... made me think of ... Attachment : image.png Keith Richards teaching a young Willy Nelson how to play guitar.

And turns out that an oily rag means different things to different people (including @mattbeels). Who knew! He’s Germerican. 😏

Well.... got some progress done this weekend. Home made rosette done, sound hole cut out, all braces done and glued. All shaped except the x-braces. Will get those carved when the sides are done. On t...

Mark suggests on his videos that you use sanding sealer before cutting out the rosette, as it helps stop any tear out. You just rag it on around the area you are cutting the rosette out As well as new...

@rocknroller912 excellent, it certainly looks like a really clean cut and no marks either!!!

I am building a second shed to store pet foods and supplies, lawnmower and other gardening equipment. ( Actually I am throwing stuff out that does not belong in a guitar workshop 😋 ) Attach...

Last time I wanted to route a trussrod channel, I used the guiding rail from the router itself. While this did a perfect job on my first neck, but on the last one, I had some spots where the router bi...

Oh I forgot to include the airbrush pic. Attachment : 65738742-A81E-48AF-A6D9-06BF00DCC2E2.jpeg

Flattened the clearcoat on this pink thing yesterday, did a little bit of a graphic with my airbrush and re-clearcoated. I’ll leave it for a few days and then flatten it again and put a few more coat...

My favourite song today:

Thanks @markbailey. I have not carved the braces. Will carve them the day I'm ready to glue it on. I will keep the clamps on it though to help prevent as much movement as I can. 🙂

Storing the back - TIP! After gluing the braces on to the back you should not carve them until you are ready for assembly - If you are leaving it for some time there is a danger of it changing shape.....
