@wayne_f These problems we give ourselves never seem so bad after a good night's sleep, you'll fix it and it'll be fine.

@robin I've compared the neck to the fretboard and the board is a bit wider. Your suggestion of blending the joint while carving sounds much better than scrapping the whole thing. After my last post I...

Posted by: @wayne_f Just got done out in the workshop a couple hours ago and I've run into another problem. I might need to scrap this and start over. After routing the profile of the neck I noticed ...

Thanks Russ. Reckon it might need another verse and some lyric tweaking, but it’s turned into an an ear worm for me. I can’t get it out of my head!

@wayne_f I think Mark did a video on how to route a truss rod slot after the neck has been profiled. Search through the utube videos I’m sure you will find it. You could glue a veneer shim on the sho...

After routing the profile of the neck I noticed that the truss rod slot looked a little off. The template must have been off center. Now it seems like the neck is a little too narrow at the nut end. ...

Okay, finally posting some progress. Even though the project is just starting I've already made a couple mistakes. Fortunately those mistakes are not difficult to work around. First, I accidentally cu...

Thank you so much for sharing here , all the music videos are amazing ...

@koendb and by the way, I forgot to mention in my reply - that’s a really nice looking, very classic Flying V, I love it!

Thanks @boo, for your many wise words 😀 It certainly is part if the fun to fix the problems that arise as well as to solve challenges - most of my challenges came from my own inadequacies wit...

Posted by: @steveh There have been things that I got wrong first time and had to revisit, as well as things that I‘ve asked myself „What if I did this bit differently next time?“ @steveh Nice one St...

Hey there, everyone! So, the project guitar is finished (for a given value of „finished“ - there are some details to take care of yet). But it´s built and it plays nicely - certainly better than the d...

@koendb yeah, they are! My rubyburst was a kit, but I decided that I didn’t like the pickguard, and moved the control cavity from the front of the guitar to the back. Also, the nut had to come off and...

@steveh Really nice job! congrats. Up to the next build. Flying V's are fun! Here's my attempt 🙂 Attachment : IMG_20210528_072723932.jpg

@koendb doing the sums is easy enough, but i wanted a visual representation, and I hadn’t found one online. The fretfind2d one looks great though - thank you for the pointer! cheers Steve

@Steveh Thanks for that. But there are easier ways: or Stewmacs fret calculator TLC Guitargoods in Holland: I am sure there a lot of other online resources that can do the exact same thing.It's ni...

Hi all, i guess most people have their own ways of marking and cutting fret slots ranging from measuring individually to using some quite nicely designed jigs, but I thought I’d share something that I...

Posted by: @boo move into my new house on 12th August 2022 Woohoo getting closer and closer man!

@koendb Yeah that is some nice work man, both the Uke and the workshop, I’m envious right now. I’m getting frustrated with not being able to build right now but I’m getting closer, I move into my new ...
