Quick question about the order of tasks.... In the lessons, Mark glues the neck and then applies the finish. But he's using a wipe on oil..... If I wanted to actually use paint as a finish, is that st...

@nsj 😆😆😆😆😆😆 That’s one way around it I suppose.

@boo if it haqppens again just glue the neck in and glue the ferrules in then glue screw heads in 🤣 🤣

@nsj Yeah, I probably would have got it more accurate in the first place but I had already drilled the holes for a standard neck plate and fitted the neck. I then changed my mind and went with the fer...

I got mine out of aldi years ago, still going strong. Came with the snake attachment too which helps when I drill those ferrules off centre lol I try and use a nice small bit to do pilot holes so th...

@nsj Yeah I realise a dremmel would be perfect for the job but I don’t have one. 😆 It’s probably about time I got one. The idea of sandpaper around a socket was just to solve the problem with ...

Hey @Boo while I remember, got these from tool station, pretty cheap but can be pretty handy. There's a little dremmel sized one in the kit too. Attachment : 20220209_181511.jpg

I say old bean, get yourself a dremmel, there's a good chap what what 🤣

That's clever thinking @boo

There are probably better tools for this job but if you haven't got them and you are in a bind, then try this. I used a Forstner drill bit to create a recess for some neck ferrules. They were slightly...

@russ Wow, that is a stunning picture. If you are down in Argyll again, you’ll be welcome here. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@nsj That is good news, can’t wait to try it now. Cheers. 👍

@somethingnicer Here's what I did on my latest les paul type build. Attachment : SquarePic_20240613_16251884.jpg You can also slice off the lower half of the heel and glue a longer piece on, ...

Most of the time there are multiple ways to fix a problem, a lot of the time there is at least one way to fix a problem, and there is very little of the time where problems can’t be fixed. Robin’s su...

@boo Welcome. Usually with gibson scale I measure 630mm for scale line which is slightly longer, seems to work great.

@nsj That is perfect, exactly the info I was looking for. I was just going to try it anyway using a rough and ready quick build and see how things went. I’ll go for it now then. Cheers Neil 👍

@boo my ggbo build, the black limba neck through with binding etc. That's a 24.75 scale with floyd, works perfect. A lot of companies have been doing it for years. Post hole centres sit a 1/2 inch for...

The back is on, the neck is in, the finish applied, the bridge fitted. Now it’s time to tackle the wiring. Attachment : IMG_0366.jpeg To make sure I didn’t make any wires too short, or too long...
