I made these little pins that will be placed at both sides of the fingerboard, around where the body meets the neck. Attachment : 3E89EC18-9F5C-45DC-8073-94355D81763C_4_5005_c.jpeg And cut out ...

The soundboard gets glued to the shell! I first start by making tiny blocks, that will help supporting the top , so the top would not fold and crack when applying masking tape with some decisive forc...

It s time to prepare the top to be glued on the body. First I position the body and mark the bracings for the cuts. The braces should really fit tightly against the side of the body.We dont use any ke...

I then shape the back of the bridge, I fold it inwards with a sharp chisel, so there is only a little 'roof'just above the string holes. This will help keeping the strings in place when we tie a knot ...

@brie Very kind of you Brian, I appreciate it and so does my mate. I have still yet to create a proper workshop in one of my out-buildings, the weather really is a major issue for workshops in Scotlan...

@liebe Thanks Dan, the unit was getting power from the battery, the tuner was working (therefore receiving a signal from the pickup) but the output from the unit had failed, or the cable between the p...

Hey Brian, Preamps can fall, but perhaps see if you can bypass the output from it to see if the output jack has failed or needs cleaning. I have a jack socket with two crocodile clips wired to it too...

Well, that went well👍😃 I solved the bridge pin problem by pulling the pin out as far as it would come, then cut it with my fret end nippers, which allowed me to knock it back through t...

Hi everyone, I started what I thought was a simple bit of maintenance on a Washburn EA16TS for a friend. The guitar has been stored in a case in the loft for a number of years and the brief was to che...

Loving your builds NSJ! that recessed jack connector looks really nice. And the 3 layer look mahogany, ash and black - so dope!!
