Latest completed build - Telecaster fyom Driftwood

@Boo If I'd kept all my mistakes/rejects I wouldn't fit in the room! Don t make me blush!, you won't like me when I'm embarrassed - I start playing ABBA tunes in the corner when I feel awkward. ...

I’m glad that other people have admitted they don’t like fret dressing, I hate it with a passion. In principle, I think I need to work on fret dressing as a skill for completeness and to save money. ...

For anyone who's not seen an email - Carol was unwell last night, so decided best to have an early night, and *not* to run Bliss to avoid passing on the bug to any of us. She's feeling better today. ...

just how? @cheesewhisk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Maybe an air bubble lifted it or something. Never mind, sand it flat, drill it out carefully and glue another one in, Done. ...

It's Friday afternoon. You're off to the pub really, aren't you? @tv101 I thought all the pubs were still shut, no? Just shows how much I’m interested in getting out to a pub.🤣 I will be in...

but for the number of guitars I’ll be making I don’t think the press would be worth it. @tej You may change your mind in a couple of years when you have made a few guitars and you can’t stop because ...

Hi @ jonhodgson, that’s an interesting consideration but it does rely on the fret wire being manufactured to a very close tolerance and this isn’t my experience. Maybe brands differ this respect and t...

@deej I’ll start a thread at some point for updates, would have already but given most people here have presumably done what I’m soon to do I didn’t actually expect anyone to want to see another build...

So looking forward to recording a track with my first Tej built guitar once I get going!!! @tej The best feeling in the work playing you own made guitar on a record or Live. To be honest anytime. W...

Ok, I have been mulling over this ‘travel stop’ thing on the flattening jig and have been drawing little adjustable plywood stops with slots and screws and threaded inserts and so on. The problem is t...

Got some wood to practice using my handplaners and make scarf joints, etc...It is roughly cut and some pieces are probably unusable as a real neck because of knots. Maybe a few laminated necks with wh...

Looks like a decent repair, more difficult than making new stuff every job is different. @rocknroller912 Thanks man, it was a bit tricky but totally doable.

The only song in my head today is the one I was trying to record yesterday, for tomorrow's Bliss! ARRGGHHHHHHH. Need to listen to some real music today ....
