New bindind arrived today, it's to white, so now I have two that don't match the pickups lol. Anyway ordered another, 3rd time lucky hopefully. In the meantime I got the headstock all shaped, thickn...

Turns out the binding is to yelllow when you get it in good light but I have more browny coloured cream binding on the way which should match the pickups better, it's more yellow than it looks in the ...

@julioherrera Welcome!

thanks @swepri. I did that "random pattern" rosette on my last build too and I am really liking the end result. I think it may become my "thing" on my guitars... or at least some variation of that. 🙂

@bpower Wow, good progress! Nice rosette too.

Well.... It has been a while since I posted about this build. I've been pretty busy and haven't had a good chance to make progress... however I am finally making some headway on this build. Here are t...

Yes - I believe it's the same "build an electric guitar" course as what's available here.

Mark has a course on Udemy?

I finally found it on Udemy! It's in the section on gluing the body blanks! Take the new razor blade and scrape it on a sharpening stone. It creates a burr which helps with scraping! Cheers!

I recall @markbailey providing a tip for how to make a disposable razor into an awesome scraper/planer and I can't find it again on udemy. Can anyone either point me to the session or just share how i...

Welcome! Are you signed up for any of the courses?

Found an old clip of my band Lemon Curry playing a Stevie Wonder song, many moons and several singers keyboard players guitarists ago.

@rathius I use regular car matt 1k, so simple, dry sand very lightly after to remove any overspray or that but there's none of this wet sanding or polishing. I ALWAYS sand through gloss lol Look at...

@steveh I have a kit I bought 2 1/2 years ago I’ve still not finished for that very reason. First thing was dropping the body after spraying the final coat of clear 🤦🏻‍♂&...

Yeah I learned that the same way. In my case it was at the neck socket. Yeah. I almost cried. The fix? Well as some may recall, I grew up in an auto body shop so the fix was body filler. Not auto body...

Now, that’s an interesting idea! I’ll certainly have a play with that and let you know how it works out - thank you!
