First time making a neck through. Nervous... Watching this! I am also thinking about a neck tru as my next project!

@rocknroller912 I might need to do this as the fret board has ever so slightly snuck beneath the body. Alternatively I could just taper the very top outside edges of the pocket to match so it looks mo...

Live performance all right. Fourth take, believe it or not. Glad you enjoyed it. The appeal? That’s a story for another time 😉

@robin thanks, I’ve made both horns a bit thinner now too so the lower one doesn’t block things, it’s a little annoying still but overall I’m not going to spend “that” much time at the 24th anyway! Wi...

@tej Your carving is looking good. As for removing fingers, I've tried it and wouldn't recommend it.

So my not so trusty dust extractor died last night and I need a replacement. If anyone has an M-class extractor they’d recommend, especially if it’s relatively cheap I’d love to hear about it!? There ...

@koendb I always wear a strap with the guitar quite high so I can have the neck at a high angle so there’s no strain on my wrist. On the rare occasion I don’t use a strap I’ll have it one my left leg ...

@tej I have the same issue with one of my builds. the cutaway should be a lot lower. It is also difficult to balance on my lap because of the weird curve at the bottom of the lower horn. It looks lik...

Kits are great as a confidence builder. It also allows you to start building without having all the needed tools or skills.No argument with regards to quality of any kit is relevant, because, even if ...

@bpower kits are great but it’s satisfying to do basics the hard way too

@tej I wouldn’t worry about 0.5mm as long as all 6 strings line up with the pick up pole pieces. To make a thin shim start with a bit longer than you need and clamp it down. Mark the size you need and...

I think given the error being quite small a slightly offset bridge will be preferable to laminating the socket and rerouting it as I think that has more likelihood of going horribly wrong. If it is j...

@tej Will give that a try this afternoon and let you know if it works

You could almost be fooled into thing this Is going to be a guitar. I’ve got a small design flaw on my part, the lower horn, despite taking more of the thickness out is still in the way at the last fe...

@robin turns out that I needed very little in terms of carving for the belly and wrist carves so they’re both quite slight. In might need to carve the lower horn out a little more to allow better acce...

That is looking good @tej! you got it under control 👍

My favourite song today:

More routing and rounding, also have the holes for the wiring, socket and strap pins done (no pic of that bit!) Onto carving next, happy days. 🙂 Attachment : 7CB47523-BFA6-4DF5-9B80-B0E300...
