@russ Jack of all trades. 🎸🥁🎤🎹💻😉

Heh – glad you’re enjoying it @russ. You’ve unerringly selected the most popular track on the album, and it wasn’t even written by me! @jamesbisset The whole Album is great James. I’ll have to get the reissue as I haven’t…   Read more»

Heh – glad you’re enjoying it @russ. You’ve unerringly selected the most popular track on the album, and it wasn’t even written by me! For those interested in such things, I was playing my Dan Armstrong (London) through a Session…   Read more»

Thanks @Russ. It was @jamesbisset (Was it?  It was) who got me into that.  When he got his backing band to come along and play, it got me wondering. Though the deeper I dip my toe into the mysteries of…   Read more»

Thanks @russ 🙂
Caedmon has (have?) a new single just out. All recorded and patched together remotely. Strange times.

More great advice. Would you post a close-up picture of the line when it’s completely finished?  @russ Yeah sure. When I go into the workshop today, I’ll show you the line tape, how I’ve applied it and take it off….   Read more»

When you’re masking up the fretboard do you totally cover it or leave a tiny slither along the edge between the fretboard and the neck? How quickly do you take the tape off after the spraying is done?  @russ Thanks,…   Read more»

@russ Your certainly my goto logo man All l can do is black inkjet waterslide and that took a lot of trial and error, I’ve got enough for my next four builds though. I tried colour too, but it was…   Read more»

Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? @russ not sure about others but I used a table saw with a jig I use to square rough planks. Happy to elaborate with picture if it’s…   Read more»

You’re a good man

@russ I try. 🤣

I’m I get old or are the band’s getting much younger……..the drummer is only 11 years old.

@russ You’re getting older. 🤣😜👍

@electricstringtheorygmail-com Welcome to the community! I would agree with @russ.. It does look ok to me too. I actually like it.

Video working well for me

@russ Thanks for the feedback Russ. Hmm….. Bang goes my theory about it being this website. @clinton you may have a problem with your phone/tablet/device that you create and upload videos with. 

Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? @russ I started with one straight edge on the MDF, as per Mark’s instruction, cut a piece that was more than long enough and 60mm wide and…   Read more»

Ingenious

@russ I knew there would be a crossover somewhere between gardening and guitar making but this wasn’t an obvious one. On a Venn diagram, there isn’t going to be much depth, the circles will only just touch. 

Coming along nicely

@russ I think once you get going, you will have many guitar builds coming nicely along. There’s no better feeling Russ. Apart from maybe……. a few things but not much…… 🤘😜🤘🎸

You’re a little Industry @russ I’ve normally got about 3 or 4 builds on the go at the same time. I have 4 at the moment, including a cigar box guitar build. Oh I’ve got that bass to finish off…   Read more»

All the curves in all the right places

@russ Thanks, that’s what she said. 😜

That’s Porij gone on to the Spotify play list @Russ!  No albums out yet though ☹️ 
 
And in a surprise twist, I’m afraid @Marcel‘s latest submission is on the playlist too!

Looking forward to seeing you complete this one @tv101. I thought you might be up to something along these lines.  It’ll be a while @Russ – I’ve had too many other demands on my time over the past few months,…   Read more»
