@alnlush Looks like a bit more than a few mods

@alanlush What mods are you looking to make

@alanlush Looks good I like the unusual design and the finishing is impressive

@tej I haven’t done a 7 string guitar but I have made two acoustic 8 string octave mandolas with a guitar scale length so it should be a reasonable comparison. I didn’t do anything extra to reinforce ...

@tv101 We should start a new thread - The Battle of the Builds

@boo Thanks I would like some help sourcing a decent gun so I will check the spec on my compressor and see what it’s output is. I don’t need a large one, smaller the better. Price is not a problem. Al...

@tv101 I think you have got the timelines fairly accurate. Woodwork is not that difficult but finishing is. I follow some professional restorers in the violin world and it often takes several attempts...

@boo I’m planning a 3 colour sunburst body sometime probably after the winter unless I can find a good way of heating my garage up to temperature, so I might need to pick your brains. I have yellow an...

@boo Your impact is very positive for sure. I had never heard of isolator paint before, although I’ve done a lot of wood finishing.

@boo Thanks for sharing this, it’s giving us all a free masterclass in painting

@marcel Brilliant recording especially in one take

@russ You should change your web handle to slow hand, or is that one taken already.

@tv101 You won’t miss anything from Chez Bisset it’s in you face every Thursday

@tej you could try the pound shops or B&M think they sell it. £7 a roll in my local diy shop.

Stuck in the house after tripping over a pot hole and injuring my hand and found this . Decided it’s my next song to learn now that live music has started again.

@tej People don’t say that to me very often

@tej 40mm is fine it’s actually easier with a small plane

@tej Ive made a very rough sketch of how I would estimate the finished taper in wood. Hope you can understand it. Lay a ruler as shown from the tape to the front of heel and put your wood shim along s...

@tej Ive made lots of shims by hand, it’s not that hard. Start with a piece that’s longer and thicker than you need and clamp it to the bench. Then plane or scrape it working away from the clamp to cr...

@tej Even with the fretboard overhang and pick guard covering thing I would still try and fill any gaps in the joint, or the string tension will be pulling on the screws only which will probably cause...
