@boo Is every tool in your garage now tinted pink?

My favourite song today:

Thanks @russ I’ve been mega busy but unfortunately not with guitars. Yeah, it certainly is very pink and my customer already loves it. He will in turn build the guitar up and pass it on to the intend...

Time to get pink. I finally got a weekend to work on a guitar. I need to get this project posted back to America. Chop chop! Why the star? Don’t ask. Attachment : 247F33D1-D0CD-48C0-A98D-D9EFAA...

My favourite song today:

Think the truss rod size changed - now a 6mm truss rod comes with the kit - not at home to check - you need to make the slot wider at the adjuster end - message Mark to check……..

Cheers @bart-van-der-kemp. I think I will air on the side of caution and go for 23 mm and like you say I can always sand a little afterwards. Thanks for the advice most appreciated. 😀

Attachment : sides1.jpg After a lot of cutting of more bits of the log to get the right grain direction, I cut 3 slices about 6mm thick x 70mm wide to be the sides. I then planed them down to abou...

My favourite song(s) today:

@ Russ The importance of Paul McCartney as a bass player is huge. He was the first one who played very melodic instead of just playing the root notes of the chord.

Got my foot tapping again James. Thanks @Russ. It was bit of a nightmare. It was the first take and I was running out of time and then, at the end, realised the guitar wasn’t plugged in. So I had to...

I missed most of the show last night. oh well next week!

I got caught by this twice over the last few years so I don’t bother getting anything from SM. I try and source in England, Europe (may now prove difficult!) or make my own tools if I can. Yeah same ...

Just incase anyone is interested...... ooh at that price.. very tempting

My favourite song today, written by the first member of the 27 Club:

I actually just finish a lot of my builds with only shellac. I really like how my (shellac) finishes look and , more important, feel.Now I am not doing a french polish or anything like that, I just pu...

Hi Tej, Autocorrection kicked in, it is Hardwax oil. A mixture of oil and wax, normally used on floors. After staining I used another oil to get the intense yellow off a bit and also enhance the grai...

@bart-van-der-kemp Thanks, the finish looks good, not familiar with “hardware oil” have you got a link to the product please? Also did the oil alter the colour from when you stained it at all?
