Very Good for a Practice Build. 

Thanks Russ, I’ll get started on proper one now, I’ve got a Bailey kit for the next one.

@russ He’s certainly got some top quality tools and jigs!

Well John, I’m no expert but I would guess that you’ll be able to turn all of that stuff into guitars. Thanks @russ I try my best. I’ll definitely have to continue down this road for a while, it will…   Read more»

All looking great Boo. I bet you could turn anything into a guitar.  @russ Cheers! That’s the plan really, I’m interested in using anything and everything into a guitar. I’m going to stay clear of expensive, highly figured woods for…   Read more»

I should have paid closer attention Tony. Have I seen some pictures of your first build somewhere on this forum? Indeed you have @russ here https://guitarmaking.co.uk/community/showcase-electric/my-life-changed-in-2007/#post-2280   I think it’s fair to said that my first build left room for…   Read more»

A very caring, sensitive and funny woman…..

@russ I like that too. 

Excellent Tony. I don’t imagine my first build will be as good but I can but aspire…….. The name on the headstock should have given it away @russ – this wasn’t one of *my* builds, this one was built by…   Read more»

Brilliant Live band….

@russ Sounds good, it’s a little different but a cool sound. I bet they are good live, like you say. 

Love this band but sadly they have split…… hopefully one day they will get back together.

Never heard of them (to my knowledge), but an interesting track.  Thanks for sharing @russ.
 

@russ Are those tuners the Da Vinci ones from Schaller? I really do like those and I will use them on a build one day. 

I do like the Schaller stuff boo. I might use some in future builds……….if I ever get this guitar building off the ground. @russ Yes this Schaller bridge looks really interesting, there are some great modern bridges around these days. 

I was brainwashed by Fender @Russ – I did own a Fender, once.  I had a Jazzmaster for about 3 days – took it as a part-trade for something I wanted to sell, and then sold it on really quickly…   Read more»

I’m not even a good enough guitarist to justify owning them but I want them just because I’m quite shallow that way. That’s easy to say @Russ – but then how good do you have to be to *justify* having…   Read more»

@russ Did you make the transfers yourself I bought the waterslide paper and used Windows Paint to draw the logos, then printed on an inkjet printer. You have to spray them with a clear coat before you apply the transfers,…   Read more»

@russ That’s partly why I am skint, not buying guitars but buying stuff to build them. I’m so irresponsible! 

@russ Thanks!  Feels like good progress!

Nice choice @Russ.  Nonsuch is a great album – loved that when it came out, and I’m just about to play it again thanks to you!
 

I never really got Zappa.  But, like @Russ, a bit of Madness is always going to put a smile on your face!
 

@russ I certainly will!

@russ First time I’ve heard of this band (Wooden Shjips)… I love it… thanks for sharing!
