What a brilliant thing to have done, and to have done brilliantly! Thats something that you can keep forever and enjoy every day. Great school you must go to, that allows and encourages you to learn a...

you should get top marks for your thesis. @Rocknroller912 Thanks man! I hope so, we will see

PROJECT IS FINISHED! Hi guys, my guitar project is finished, i still have to make a plate to cover the trussrod at the headstock but the guitar is ready and she plays fantastic. here are some pictur...

I’ve just realised that I’ve posted these pictures in the wrong thread. It @mattbeels fault.

what’s going to be the difference between that cribbage board and the neck tenon? 🍻 @mattbeels Right, in my head 🤪 I’m thinking it may diffuse any movement coming directly from the st...

All clamped up. 🤘😁🤘🎸 Attachment : 87CFC017-5669-4BC2-9E87-F26626B0236A.jpeg Attachment : 7C0EFF6E-8EC3-452F-9FB3-A4252D924B56.jpeg Attachment : 1CD75...

Looks good how did you make the patch @rocknroller912 I used a chunk of the off cut from the guitar blank. It’s 40mm thick so I drew the dimensions out on the wood and cut that much off. I then measu...

And in this thick Scottish accent said "I canna understand it, his strings are THIS thick <indicates a diameter of about half an inch> they're THIS far off the fret board <indicates a distanc...

For that, they invented bending! @koendb If you're familiar with Dave Kilminster, you'll know that if it was physically possible to play, he'll have done it (and most probably if it wasn't). He's a...

Does anyone know if there is any need for Imperial drill bits or can I always use Metric? The answer to that question depends on the specified diameter of your metric equivalent drills. A 12.7mm d...

@rocknroller912 I would love to do that sometimes.

I wouldn’t call it a correction your point of view is just as valid as mine Oh @rocknroller912, my comment was not meant as a correction to any other opinion either! I think you are 100% correct abou...

Engineering supply companies like MSC in the UK are best for this. Cheers @rocknroller912. Thanks for the advice. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

You might not think that 0.2mm *diameter* would make that much difference, but it did! I have experienced the same with bridge post holes. I have a 3/8" for , if I recall correctly, Floyd Rose posts...

@rocknroller912 Indeed, I used a pilar drill only for the initial holes. But I indeed scored the initial contours of the holes manually ( turning the drill head manually, once I got the brad points ex...

My favourite tune, can’t wait to get back playing this in the pub. Don’t tell tv101 there’s a banjo at the back. I saw a harp too though @rocknroller912 - if you've got a harp on stage, no-ones watch...

@cheesewhisk - it really depends on how noisy (in terms of electrical interference) an environment the player is going to be playing in. It's a nice touch, a good sign of "I'm a proper guitar builder"...

Made a patch to repair the top of this Strat too today. Attachment : 5ECA6FA9-1563-4EB0-BE44-D84E14135FDD.jpeg Attachment : 75E6DDB0-2AB7-44CF-AAA1-82495E3EF6E6.jpeg Attachment : D2...

OK, here we go. I still need to route it flush with the top but I made a routing template for the wooden plate that I’ll bond and pin in to cover the neck joint. I’ll then use more high build primer t...
