@rocknroller912 could you use some tool wax on it, presuming the result would be sanded it should cause issues?

Nice @rocknroller912!

First attempt at making a sound hole ring cut from a flat sheet salvaged from the off cuts of acoustic sides and joined together. After it was scraped down I decided that it needed purfling either sid...

Nice work @bpower keep it coming!

@bpower tidy work 🙂

@koendb excellent, looking forward to hearing it once I get everything together 🙂 I dropped a Dimarzio True Tone (think that’s what it’s called) into the bridge, mainly as a sadly quite expens...

I wish I’d asked you for some sound samples now, those are the same pups I chose for my build! @tej I ve got a hotslag in the bridge position on my Ibanez. It sounds so much better then the original...

@koendb set neck, not sure how I’d go about making a shim thin enough! Anyway I should check it against the path of the strings and bridge first and check how big the problem is, sorry, should have do...

So after putting some straight edges either side of the fretboard with the neck in the socket it’s a few mm off centre at the bridge, plan today is to temporarily put the nut on and run threads for th...

Nice one @clinton, it looks killer! How about a shot of the headstock?

@ndakota 22/06/2021 7:45 am That's beautiful! That is what i would like to get! Is that still pine or you combined 2 types of wood? If it is still pine how did you get that color? No that's...
