My favourite song today:

Well today I finally made a start, worked everything out then got the truss rod slot sorted, fretboard pinned and headstock angle. Need to wait on binding, then shave the fretboard down and attach the...

@russ all stable, only ever had one where the neck warped and that was a very expensive piece of birds eye maple! Yet if I've used old floorboards etc they're stil as good as the day I made them lol

Going to do a solid neck through black limba build for ggbo community. Going with a gibby scale, floyd rose, cream binding with zebra pickups. Carvetop again but possibly a bit deeper like a prs this ...

@swepri Of course, why didn’t I think of that, I do generally tend to make things more complicated than I need to, one of the consequences of overthinking things!!🤣🤣 Thanks for the con...

@brie Yes, you are correct. Geometrically, you only need to measure the scale of the two E strings for the calculation, since the fret wire connects in a straight line between these two scales. The sc...

I don’t have any experience of fan fretted guitars and would bow to the greater knowledge of anyone that does. Would I be right in thinking that each string would have it’s own scale length and that c...

Thanks, Everyone For Your Beautiful Welcome...

@robin Thanks! I might try it on a future build then. 👍

@swepri What are your thoughts on the wipe on laquer? I've been looking at it at the Crimson site, but have not seen any reviews or examples before. They recommend sanding to at least 320 grit, so ...

@robin Change of plan is part of the fun. What are your thoughts on the wipe on laquer? I've been looking at it at the Crimson site, but have not seen any reviews or examples before. I did try this on...

@dav Could you just put like masking tape to make sure glue doesnt go into what seems to be "stacked metal plates" during the gluing process? Maybe put some bees wax on the bits where you don't wa...

Yes, I guess so. Mark recommends using a thin "fillet?" above the trussrod, but if the trussrod is level with the neck that is not possible. Others use a strip of thin masking tape over the trussrod, ...

@swepri I guess so, if it works it works, problem is, is that it seems like the plastic covering chipped à bit. Could you just put like masking tape to make sure glue doesnt go into what seems to be "...

@rathius I sat a 12 radius block on a 16 radius board, the gap was les than 0.2mm! Took me by surprise, there's so little in it. I do 12, 14 and 16 though, basically whatever the bridge is. I like to ...

A change of plan, it turns out that I didn't like the turquoise after all. I kept going with it and was going put it all back together again because I want to play it. I was telling myself that I'd st...

I'm having a few days at home, so taking advantage of this dry warm weather to do some finishing. I'm using Crimson's Stunning Stains and Wipe On Guitar Finishing Lacquer. My initial plan was for a wa...

I've put a proper Bigsby on it now, what a difference from the piece of Chinese junk that I originally had. Attachment : 20230308_174937.jpg
