@nsj That’s good to know, thanks for the info. 👍

@nsj He is an amalgamation of all of them. @tv101

@tv101 which one are you? 🤣 🤣

@boo Thanks mate, I'm using the gotoh floyds. Get them from axesrus for a cracking price! Brilliant units, hold tune great and a joy to use.

@nsj I’m liking the look of this build, great shape and having a Floyd in as well tops it. I do have something similar in the planning. You are a great addition to this group and I’ll keep my eye on ...

Did a bit of refining on the shape then got the floyd cavity sorted. Tomorrow it's onto pickups and control cavity and maybe start the carve Attachment : Smalled.jpg Attachment : Smalled2...

Couldn't you have bought a half-decent replacement compressor for the cost of that Mirka kit?? It's still on my "on day I might justify it" list. In the meantime, I make do with the arm-powered recta...

@brie Welcome Brian, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Building guitars from scratch will increase your addiction, be careful it doesn’t bankrupt you. 😆 Seriously though, just h...

@pompei Welcome. I think you nailed it in the quote below. 😉 But at least guitars are fun to build and work on.

Though that failure might have been due to the extra clamping pressure, rather than the normal stresses that a finished body would have to withstand?

@tv101 totaly! Watching other people on youtube and getting inspiration to improve my results!

Mirka, the stuff in our dreams... 🙂 Someday, someday I will get one.

I was just wondering what you all use to sand your work. What sander and sand paper do you use? I’m not sure we have ever done any kind of comparison and rating of tools, materials and sundries before...

Attachment : IMG_8912.JPG Hmmm... let’s see... Attachment : IMG_8913.JPG Nope. Well, that’s a little disappointing!
