@darrenking thanks for your help

@koendb yes I know the feeling, I've got the gotoh 12 string bridge so should be able to intonate every string, at least that's the theory 😎 I once had the danelectro 12 string and sold it and...

Posted by: @tyreman but have drawn out a few full-scale plans including the 12 string, so not sure yet. I want to build a 12 string too, well at least it is on my bucket list, but first I hope to ge...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 @tyreman Whats your first build going to be good question, I am probably going to keep it simple for the first build, but have drawn out a few full-scale plans including t...

@darrenking i am only able to find tesa 4288 which is the black tape. the only difference is it has stronger tensile strength. i found it off ebay where someone was selling it as an alternative to t...

@darrenking thanks. i have a bunch of those tape dispensers. and i know how they can jump up and bite you 🙂

Hi @seanwhcraig, I am pretty certain that it is Tessa 4287 and you ideally want it in 19mm or 25mm (3/4" or 1"). You'll need one of those tape dispenser things as well and the rolls fit the StewMac th...

@darrenking Wow! This is all truly amazing. I am stunned beyond belief, this is proper guitar building, not that crap I do. This is on a whole new level. One day. ✊

Hi Sean, I’m pretty sure that there is a section of video in the laminating masterclass I filmed with Mark where I demonstrate the method used. If you imagine glueing the halves of a very thin soundbo...

Sorry, I'm way late to this thread but was doing some research on laminated backs. was curious about how you seamed and joined the back pieces? what glue did you use? how'd you joint them to get a ...

Awesome info!

😊 😊 😊 thanks guys, I’m feeling the love!

@boo Whoa! That’s a nasty paper cut you’ve got there! Make yourself feel better by having a big bag of chips with plenty of salt and vinegar and then rub some Ralgex into that aching back of yours! If...

thanks. looks like its available but theres a ton of different types

Hi Sean, look for Tessa tape. I’ll try to find the code number but there is a red version (for cold pressing) and a blue version (for hot pressing). I know, the wrong way around right? Cheers Darren

@darrenking thanks, I am signing up for that course asap. im in the US so will have to look for the tape here.

Yup, that’s the stuff. It has a pretty short shelf life once it is opened so don’t buy a huge tub or you’ll end up binning most of it. Darren

@darrenking thanks again. i'm going to use 3 layers. i found this. is this it? did find aerolite but its all in the UK and europe.

Hi Sean, UF = Urea Formaldehyde It’s available as a liquid resin/powder hardener, liquid resin/liquid hardener and also a one shot powder that you add water to. One of the main benefits is that you ca...

@darrenking thanks for the response. i am in US and googled UF resin system but its all technical articles. i guess it's also called plastic resin glue. i will take both inside and outside lams to...
