not sure in duty from Europe now @tej, yeah thats why I prefer mainland Europe companies lately. I do buy from UK/US based luthier shops on occasion, but only if I can't find it here. Nothing to do w...

Anyone watching Bliss last night will have seen this - well, seen most of this before the subtle editing towards the end from our host. For anyone not watching Bliss last night, here's something you ...

My favourite song today. I love playing this song with one of my bands. The only song in which I'm allowed to play a bass solo.

@tv1 Here's another garden party to enjoy:

I got a note from the Bailey crew the other day, and for those who're interested we've settled on some Kluson machine heads. #nearlythere Attachment : 20210419_125805.jpg Attachment : 20210...

Not that a single thing will go wrong of course, I think the chances of a single thing going wrong are minimal @Tej 😉 I still find multiple "learning opportunities" on most builds ...

Any job that "I'll just do this quickly" generally turns out to take much much longer! @tv101 yeah for my proper build I have to keep in mind I’m not working to anyone’s schedule but my own and that ...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... After my last few weird suggestions I thought I'd go a bit more middle of the road. 😂🤣 🎶🙂🎸🙏

I've just been watching your Bagpress laminations videos on Mark's courses Hi @russ, I'm pleased that you've enjoyed them and thank you for your comments. If you feel your high subsiding I have a You...

Just in case anybody thinks that my woodworking is limited to things controlled by a keyboard I thought I should put the flattening jig through it paces. I picked an old lump of ash measuring 200mm x ...

Professional builders aren’t offended by customers having specific requirements like no black plastic. @rocknroller912 (& @mattbeels). There's a story to this guitar. When I did my first BYOG wor...

We decided on the very large flake in the end, it looks good. It never looks brilliant at this first stage but it will once I get a shine on it. Right now it’s quite like sand paper, P80 grade i recon...

First job is making the blank flat and level and not having a drum sander it’s all done the old way with hand planes. That is indeed the hard way! Respect to those who have the skills to achieve that...

Seriously though, why didn’t you specify no BLACK PLASTIC? @mattbeels - when I eat at Michelin restaurants, I don't (often) tell the chef what salt to use.

but I didn't make that one. I know @tv101, you can tell from the photo that it was made by a pro! 😂 Seriously though, why didn’t you specify no BLACK PLASTIC?

OK, maybe i did change the strings. But I wound them properly, according to the teachings.
