@boo coming along nicely, hoping to be at a similar stage by the end of today too if the stars align and I get time!

Did a little bit more on this neck today. Drilled the tuner holes and rough cut the headstock. Installed the truss rod and glued the fillet in. Test fitted a couple of tuners and had to put the neck b...

@tej That might be a bit hard but I do have an ebony plank I got from David Dyke suppliers a while ago, not sure if ebony is good for laminating it might better just for fretboards.

My first build is a CrasterCaster - named after a small fishing village in my home county of Northumberland, and it's meant to look as though it's been made form an old barrel or fish box. @steadda H...

You WILL need to know how to sharpen a plane though @jonhodgson happy to hear your advice on this one? Also curious as to the best approach to flatten the bottom of a plane given that the one I got i...

I would be worried about glue squeeze out from the fretboard getting into the channel. Old style rods in an aluminium u shaped channel I would be happy not using a fillet, but you have to remove so mu...

Why are people even bothering with the fillet? It's not necessary with a modern truss rod. @jonhodgson If people like me are following Mark’s course then it’s from that. The reason he states is to e...

@koendb looking good, glad it’s turning out as planned too! 🙂

Today was a good day! Sanded the complete body with 100, 150 and 240.Call me crazy but I actually like sanding a guitarbody .. I enjoyed it so much, that I decided not to do the contour roundovers wit...

@steadda well your first build looks great, sadly I don’t have enough experience to offer advice on your thickness query. I’d be inclined to say it’s personal preference if you’re making it chambered ...

Hi everyone. I stumbled across Mark's live 'Lockdown Lucy' streams during lock down in 2019, and I took his challenge when he said anyone who can draw a straight line can build a guitar. and...... ba...

Now the big question - ebony or rosewood fretboard. Laminated combination 😉

Now the big question - ebony or rosewood fretboard. Attachment : C26CE3FC-F6AF-4A8A-ADB8-4EE6625E1F42.jpeg Do you think I’ve got to many ?

@tej I didn’t think of checking the web it’s too much like being back at work

@rocknroller912 can’t see why you’d need to as it’s not going to be pushing on any wood. I can’t find any examples on the internet where anyone’s taken a fillet that far either. Apprécie though I don’...

Questions for the experienced electric builders please on my practice run before going to the wood I got from Mark. Do I need to glue a fillet in to the last gap where the adjusting nut shows. I’ve on...

Would I need staggered ones if I opted for a 4-2 setup? @russ I would say no, use shorter posts for all six. Either angle the headstock or if you are going with a parallel headstock design, use a st...

My favourite song today:

I wonder if utube will block this one
