It’s not a decorative hole any more. It’s a feature! Attachment : IMG_0303.jpeg

Hearing a tribute programme after his recent departure prompted me to go back and re-listen to some of his albums. Isn't this just a brilliant and creative piece of music?

And relax ...

@liebe Thanks for the link Dan, now I’ve looked I remember having a browse through the tops a while ago, memory not what it used to be!!🤣🤣

I was fortunate to be able to grab a CNC machine a couple of years ago (a friend was upgrading and so selling his old machine). It's really just a router but controlled by the computer rather than a...

Hey @brie This is a link to the tops, nothing secret squirrel!

Think it's a (very) occasional special sale thing @brie. I managed to grab some a few years ago when they had a clear out of old bits and pieces. I now have way more tops than I'm ever going to use t...

@nsj looks very cool!

Well this turned out nice, sounds great, plays great but I'll probably get a green arm at some point lol Final video will be up in a day or two on my youtube, NSJGuitars Attachment : SquarePic...

Beautiful pieces!

Thanks @tv101 I love what an oiled finish brings out in the wood, but I'd been looking for a finish closer to the qualities of lacquer, but without the need for spraying as it's just not an option in...

And a bit more, tops glued on, edges filed and sanded over and my tele neck pickup ring finally arrived. Also copper on headstock and logo on trussrod cover. Drilled the temp screw holes I used to hol...

@liebe You appear to have been very successful finishing this guitar, it looks really well. I’ve never used that product but I might just try it after seeing this, I’m always up for trying new things....

I don't recall seeing that finishing approach before - what prompted you to try that? It's certainly looking good in the pics. I've never finished a build without a similar opportunity presenting ...

Hey folks, Thought I'd share an update on what I've been up to (whether wanted it or not). I know I wanted to build more even before finishing my second electric in January. I realised I'd 'accidenta...
