Dot is back! but it s now more on the spot where it should have been 😆 😆 Frets installed and I made a headstock plate out of black veneer, 4 sheets glued together and glued to the hea...

A couple of years ago some Dutch musicians thought it would be a good idea to perform the Sgt.Pepper album life, something The Beatles never did. And for good reasons, as it just seems impossible to p...

@russ thanks. All checks seem good but things have a nasty tendency to go wrong. They do with me anyway. Cheers

And I've missed you guys every time. By the time I have the family fed, and I make my tea, it is really late where you guys are. At some point I'll make it work. The kids are old enough to fend for th...

@koendb Thanks. Slow progress but getting there. Bridge on tomorrow followed by fret levelling etc. Cheers

Posted by: @koendb This guitar will be called Dotty Parton. The dots will need to be bigger.

@koendb nicely done

Success!! What dot? when dot? where dot? No superglue needed 🤗 First attempt ( = beginners luck? ) Attachment : IMG_20220202_145436156.jpg Attachment : IMG_20220202_160948571.jpg ...

@koendb I would clamp a straight edge on and use a sharp knife to get a clean edge line. If you taper the patch slightly from to to bottom, you can trim the bottom until it’s a tight fit. If you are f...

@rocknroller912 After our conversation yesterday, I decided to try and fix this dot after all. So this morning I made a jig to guide the dremel and remove a patch with the wrong placed dot.Since I did...
