Hi 🤗

There are some great ideas on that list, but I'd really like to see a course on recovering from mistakes and wood defects. Every builder, regardless of experience, eventually runs into issues like tea...

Oh wow, that's really amazing

Haha, love this update—sounds like such a great vibe in the workshop again! Must’ve been amazing to have two longtime members finally building side by side, sharing tips and laughs (and those classic ...

welcome and have fun building

@boo Thank you bro

@jamesfost60071 Hello James, welcome to the forum and to the world of guitar making. Hopefully you will complete one of the courses and make your first guitar, if you haven’t already. What interests y...

  Attachment : PXL_20260421_131500649.MP.jpg Well, I had planned to be very disciplined and do most of the course material first and then start my build. That lasted 1 day before I decided...

Latest build is a double f hole thinline tele, body is yew and resin with a sipo mahogany top, slightly flamed maple neck with ebony board. Loving the P90's from warman guitars   Attachment : ...

@nsj beech? I thought it would be quite heavy, thanks for confirming. It's possibly a sacrilegious thing to say, but I'm not a big fan of the look of spalted wood. So thinlines or heavily chambered i...

@liebe spalted is good, un spalted can be quite heavy but good for a semi hollow like a thinline tele or that

Cheers @nethanpaul86. I've picked up the chestnut body blank I mentioned, just not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet... I hadn't thought of beech, is that one you've tried previously? I plan...

You’re on the right track with walnut, ash, sycamore/maple, and basswood—those are all solid choices and widely available in the UK/Europe. Walnut is a bit heavier but carves beautifully, ash (especia...
