@steveadams Chalk fitting is a standard thing in instrument making schools that use hand tools but it’s not used so much with machine tools.

@steveadams I’ve watched the first video and it all looks good. The quality is fine, maybe not TV standard but you’re not selling a product so don’t worry about it. I did have trouble watching some of...

@cattytown Sounds like you have a higher skill level than most people who start guitar making. I’m sure you will do well. One source might be local joinery firms who used to make wooden windows and d...

@bpower Good luck I hope it fits the body ok

@boo Deep Fried Mars bar

@koendb Does it need a double truss rod ? I’m not sure.

@clinton Not all sanding sealers are cellulose based. Acrylic such as Chesnut brand is compatible with most things. Not sure if it’s available where you live. Probably would not use it on an acoustic ...

@jozefbehr Welcome to the forum. Do you have any experience of guitars or local instruments that are played in your country.

@boo Side dots only for me

@clinto Great build. I’m doing my first Tele at the moment and am sure it won’t look as good as yours.
