@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...

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@russ And these. Attachment : IMG_6941.png Attachment : IMG_6942.png

@russ Check these out Russ Attachment : IMG_6940.png Attachment : IMG_6939.png

@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...
