@jamesbisset It does have more of electric guitar sound than piezo. Did the original models use flat wound strings or round wound ? A different magnetic response might produce a softer sound to the p...

Thanks Bill. 🙂 I used the guitar for a full gig at PrestFest 2024 on Sunday (where Bill saw me) and then up to Glasgow for Sammy’s Open Mic at the Glad Cafe. It certainly does a lot of the stuff I pla...

@jamesbisset I was very impressed with the final result when I heard it being played yesterday. FB is nicely finished and I like the way you have worked around some of the lamination problems. It’s n...

Osmo poly x is superb for a wipe on finish, that's my goto these days. I'll often used thinned down polyurathane though on mahogany etc, sanded in to help fill grain and also add a nice tint.

T style neck after spraying, along with an S style. No polishing at all at this stage and after this I only hand rubbed it with polishing oil and Tripoli powder. Attachment : IMG_5172.mov At...

@tv101 well seeing as this thread has popped up again I'll just say here and now, none of my ash necks have suffered a single issue. All still perfect and straight as the day I made them. Some are 3 y...

I tried doing them seperately once but it was such a farce, so awkward. I'd mask off the neck to do the body seperate and vice versa if doing it again. Persoanlly though I just nice wood and finish th...

@russ thanks for sharing this film. I had never seen it before and enjoyed it, particularly the definition of a luthier.

@tv101 hey, did you happen to go through with the ash neck in the end?

Hi,I cancelled my subscription. I just checked to make sure the cancellation had gone through but found I can still log in my old account I could even view a video lesson. I assume my account is still...

@albert1234 Okay thankyou for suggestion

Good job sir!

@hennry1234 thank you for specifying it, can you tell me where are you from? Any good vendors from where I can purchase this wood?

Hi Julio, Maple is popular wood for acoustic guitar backs and sides. Sitka spruce wood for acoustic guitar tops. Mahogany wood for acoustic guitar.

@russ thank you for explaining it, sir! Can you place the online course link here in the comments?

@somethingnicer Yeah exactly that, don’t take the neck out. 😆 Yeah, take the bridge and all the other hardware off and prep the hell out of anything you want paint to stick to. Definitely mask...

When you say glue in, then strip it down and paint. You mean leave the neck in cuz we just glued it, right? so I would just remove hardware and the mask the hell out of the fretboard and other thing...

I have done it both ways. It’s certainly easier to paint the neck and body apart, before gluing them together. However, you must mask off the neck heal very accurately and the same with the neck pocke...
