@boo considering how much money people will pay for a reliced guitar maybe there's a business opportunity here for a whole new class of buggered finish?

I had an oily rag once but I had to let her go. She was just too… oily… and raggy, is that even a word?!?

Don't use a WD40 rag when you should be using an oily rag, the pros will know you're an amateur because you're confusing WD40 with oil and either sneer or laugh.. or both at the same time (would that ...

@jonhodgson I’m going to put some racing stripes down the middle of this Jazz bass and clearcoat it all, it’s that chameleon flip colour. I’ll use two white Pearl stripes I think. I’ll post it on Inst...

@jamesbisset I’m presuming this isn’t a serious question!?

I consider myself fairly handy. I’ve stripped down and rebuilt bicycles, ripped out and installed kitchens, bodged innumerable guitars… but I’ve never, ever had an oily rag. And yet every set of DIY i...

@boo thank you for the advice, I don’t have an air compressor to hand not the money to buy one right now, not the space for another big tool. What would be the lowest spec worth parting with money for...

@boo other think I meant to ask is that I have some Isopropanol alcohol but not any denatured alcohol which seems to be suggested is best, what’s your experience?

@tej This Tele is Ash and as you know it has an open grain. The grain needs to be filled and sanded flat if you want to achieve a gloss mirror finish or a smooth, flat matt effect. You may have to go ...

@rocknroller912 I appreciate your vote of confidence, sir. Thank you for the link, as well.

GREAT! Let us know if you have any trouble...

Thanks Mark. I will be taking out a premium membership so I'll catch up with your accoustic course. Will also be ordering a ready to go blank set aswell in next few weeks, but great advice on here so ...

It is really not a good idea as you will fill your workshop with steam, thus causing all your precious timber to warp, and your benches, and your walls, and your mind. Seriously thoo...There is normal...

Thanks for asking, Tej. I've successfully built my prototype, and have since finalized a multitude of mods, from body shape, pups selection, harness, to final headstock design and neck/board construct...

Though not a stranger to the world of building custom musical instruments "from scratch," I am relatively new to the custom guitar building realm. I grew up building high-end hammered dulcimer (of all...

where can I find his livestreams can see a link from Here too them. Am I missing the obvious Here? @tej: Workshop Weekend Sunday Special !! Building a guitar at home - Making a Thru Neck Guitar

you want/need consistant clamping pressure across the wood and that’s going to be hard with a profile cut into it. On the other hand pretty unwieldy to cut once the next is attached though with adequa...

This isn't for me (I want to try my hand at finishing my own) but a friend of mine has a Fender Jaguar that is now looking a bit worn and he just asked me if I had any idea what it would cost to refin...

He just commented he might want to go for the same colour as his AC Cobra replica, which I can see working. @jonhodgson If you get me the colour code of the car, I can paint the guitar in the exact s...

Hey Guys many thanks for all your replies and thoughts... I'll take a close up photo and send it over... The initial plan was for the guitar to be just for me, however, the possibility came up that so...
