Welcome Andy! The online electric build course is set around building a 25" scale, but if you've got some experience you might well be able to adapt the plan. I'm sure there are other members who've ...

Sorry forgot to mention, I'm based in Wolverhampton. Tele build with 24 inch scale inspired by shorter scale similar to suregold

Hi everyone Wow, wish I'd signed up sooner. Some awesome builds I've seen and hope I'll be one to present here eventually, lol. Having been on a course elsewhere, as fun as it was I'd wish I'd arri...

great guitar

Friend asked me to build him a guitar, he sent the wood. Pale moon ebony and mahogany. Originally a prs, then a superstrat and finally he sent me a pic and said this please lol. Anyway stranberg boden...

@nsj Thanks, I thought it was probably either not an issue or recoverable, but needed a bit of assurance before I started removing more wood. As for the hairline glues lines at the fingerboard edge I'...

It'll be fine, if it still rattles after set up just drill out a marker near the middle, take all tension off the rod and glue in a dowel clamping till the glue dries. Then fit a new marker. I used t...

So I finally got to glue the fingerboard on to my neck, and when I took the clamps off I found two problems (well three if you count the amount a glue I need to clean up, unfortunately I had to catch ...

Nice work!

Next, I levelled the frets, recrowned, polished and dressed the ends. Then I applied Liberon finishing oil to the neck (6 coats) and the top of the body (8 coats). I thought that the oil might make th...

To avoid breakout I no longer route the headstock profile and use the method described by Brian here... I think I would try sanding/scraping the top face of the neck to remove the marks left by the co...

@jonhodgson Totally agree with Dan's comments and would just like to add that routing the headstock shape can be tricky, maybe better to cut close to your template lines on the bandsaw then use belt s...

If you think you have seen it or something like it before you probably have. Built similar guitar for a friend last year that worked out so well I just had to do one for myself. It took a while due to...

@markbailey It depends on how big your rod is, it could be a struggle to get it into a slot sometimes. ✊😆 Sorry, that was very childish.

Hey Jonathan - That's normal. We normally push it as far back as it will go (towards the body end). This way it cannot slide back any further so could only potentially move forwards but - it won't mov...

I was just in the process of prepping to fix the trussrod in and I noticed that I seem to have wound up in a situation where there is nothing to stop the truss rod from sliding backwards and forward i...
