Got the neck pocket cut and the main bits laid out to check positioning Attachment : 20220129_200016.jpg If all goes to plan I'll not use those pickup rings. Nor any pickup rings. But that p...

Posted by: @koendb I think that it would not matter if you make sure you have contrasting side dots, or make the side dots in two tone, just make em big enough. If the outer circle is black, and the ...

Stunning pieces of timber there. Don't know whether they'd end up competing for attention with the guitar body, and whether that would detract from the stunning-ness of the fretboard?

Posted by: @boo I agree with your thoughts on playability as well, it could get very confusing. I think that it would not matter if you make sure you have contrasting side dots, or make the side do...

@robin Yeah I suppose it does but I think I agree with your thoughts on playability as well, it could get very confusing.

Posted by: @koendb Mark talks about 2mm clearance at the bridge position, mine is 2.8mm~3mm. Does that just mean that your saddle would be 1mm taller? I can't see that 1mm would make a huge differ...

That's some great neat and patient work Koen. Looks like a nice piece of rosewood for the sides - really strong purple-ish colour? This is my favourite pic so far ... Attachment : image.png ......

Today I spend most of my day cleaning my room and reorganizing my tools cabinets, but did find the time to also route the fretboard to size ( well, the width, not the length yet )Here's a mockup where...

@boo The pale moon ebony looks good, it flows out nicely from the lava lamp effect. I think I'd find it confusing to play though.

Keep on rockin Neil. ✊😁🤘🎸

My favourite song today, brings back many memories of my youth:

@tv101 It’s looking good T, messy job that surface routing isn’t it? It works though. 👍It’s got a lovely grain that plank, it will come up a treat with some finish on it.

A bit of sanding, and re-draw the outline ... Attachment : 20220129_161846.jpg I've got the scale length and neck pocket marked out. First job in the morning (hopefully) will be to use my spe...

Posted by: @koendb Whats the plan for tomorrow then? The plan was to get a bit more done than I actually got done - unfortunately I didn't manage to get as much time out there as I'd hoped. Because ...

I’m trying to plan what woods to use for the neck and fretboard. I’m looking at fretboards today. What do you think? Is this pale moon ebony too much? 🤣 (I think so) Or this piece of Panga Pan...

Thanks for sharing that Shocking Blue video @Marcel. Heard the track many times, but never seen the video, and never realised that they were Dutchish. 👍

I often listen to Reina's weekly-ish updates, but caught a 1hr retrospective yesterday. This was the first track played. I'm off to buy the album (Bandcamp). The juxtaposition of the sweet littl...
