Hi everyone, I'm Emmanuel Katto from Uganda, and I'm looking to start learning to play the guitar from scratch. Could you please share your suggestions and advice on how to begin? What are the essenti...

Ugh, here’s a thing. The frets aren’t quite level, so I decided to revisit that. I can’t quite get the neck flat, even with no string tension. With the Trussrod at its tightest, I have the slightest a...

@russ thanks Russ - this one was quite challenging as I was breaking a lot of new ground for me.

So, ladies and gents, I give you: „The Guitar that didn’t want to be Built“ as I know it affectionately Attachment : IMG_0043.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0044.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0045.jp...

@russ I’d love to know what makes Easy French Polish easy. Longer curing time? Thicker solution? I came across a video on traditional FP techniques by The Art Of Lutherie which said to use a wet pad t...

Hello and Namaste from India, my name is Manav Gangwani, What gauge of strings would you recommend for achieving a balanced tone between bass and treble on a standard-tuned acoustic guitar? How many s...

Work on the laminated semi-hollowbody continues. Following @tv101 ’s lead I’ve been applying Liberon Easy French Polish. Probably because it’s so easy, it comes with little specific instruction compar...

Hello, my name is Julio Herrera Velutini from Italy. What type of wood should be used that affects the tone and resonance of an acoustic guitar?

@markbailey learnt to carve the top and got inspired to do the heel from one of your lives where you did that carve top with an amber burst.

@markbailey Definitely one of yours although at the time of purchase the species identity was a little indeterminate - if you say sycamore I believe you. ! just liked the way it looked. Thought I had ...

@russ I'm all about the superstrat myself but it's nice to build variety.

Thanks for sharing Stephen - looks beauteous 🙂 is that one of our Sycamore caps? Can't wait to see it with the strings on!

Stunning

Can your really showcase something that is incomplete? Probably not but, as I seem to be a rather slow builder, I display my progress for no other reason than I promised Mark I would. I don't have s...

Love the neck join and the clean look of the natural finish - class!

Thanks @nsj I'll take a look. I'd go for glue in, I think. I'm often finding with guitar building (but can be asked to life in general) is that I often don't know what I don't know. So when looking a...

@liebe depends on whether it's glued or bolted, I like bolted pretty snug if possible but glue in needs room for the glue and to tight can cause real issues. Don't want a lot of side to side slop but ...

Beautiful work!
