@norriemac Your guitar looks good and very ambitious for a first build

@markbailey Sorry to be a wet blanket but I don’t like the new layout at all as I find the light blue text on a white background to be very difficult to read. Too stressful for me but at least the edi...

@pruch1989 This forum is for guitar makers we don’t write essays

I would use mild steel as the bridge has to be earthed or connected to ground, and I think it’s the best material for this. I’m presuming it’s an electric build, but if it’s acoustic then it doesn’t m...

@bpower Looks great

@boo Agreed it looks like spam

@wayne_f Did you just leave the slot as it was

@koendb Bakelite does get very brittle and I’m not sure about the best way to remove it. Try some warm water around the edges. At the time it was made people only used water based glue I think and it...

@koendb The soundboard crack might be due to the pick guard being glued on as this prevents the wood from expanding and contracting naturally. I suggest taking it off and fixing with double sided tap...

@wayne_f I think Mark did a video on how to route a truss rod slot after the neck has been profiled. Search through the utube videos I’m sure you will find it. You could glue a veneer shim on the sho...
