@somethingnicer Welcome to the forum! The conversion from slabs of wood to electric guitars was easier and more fun than I thought it would be. If any problems arise, just post a question about it.

@somethingnicer Welcome to the group Chris, just follow Mark's courses and you'll experience the magic of building guitars from slabs of wood. I'm on my 4th one now, an acoustic this time, started wit...

greetings all! I just signed up and am lookin forward to this. I’ve built multiple partscasters and I’ve been winding my own pickups for over a year now. My goal is to build guitars from slabs of wood...

Hey folks, happy new year! I'm looking for some advice, sorry if this has been posted on before. I'm assembling my second build and obviously planning my next (!). Has anyone made a hidden neck tenon...

@robin that's exactly what I'm on about! Thank god someone understood me! I'm drawing up a design that's kinda SG thin, so want a way of attaching the neck while keeping the body thin. Can I ask how y...

@liebe Is this the type of neck joint you're talking about? Attachment : 20211108_173617.jpg Attachment : 20211103_175452.jpg

I've trimmed the back braces to length and notched the kerf lining and got the back fitting fairly good. I've dry clamped it with the 6 metres of rubber band that I've cut from an old inner tube, it's...

Well that's the body all sprayed, just got to finish the finish on the neck Attachment : 20231224_021949.jpg Attachment : 20231224_002440.jpg Attachment : 20231224_002449.jpg ...

Dylan is a great songwriter, Hendrix was a great guitar player and this is a great cover.

One of the most iconic Dutch musicians was Heman Brood. A junky for most of his live and when he kicket the habit his body couldn't cope with that. At the age of 54 he took his own life by jumping fro...

My favourite song today is from a Dutch band again. The band only lasted a couple of years and had one small hit over here. Typical eighties sound, no guitars, no bass. But a ni=ce song nonetheless.

@steveh I usually go to p320 before applying finish. Before staining, I lightly moisture the surfaces and let it dry, to raise the grain. Then a light pass with p320 again before staining.

Hi everyone! I put together the Explorer-like in mock up …. Attachment : IMG_0033.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0034.jpeg Nothing is bolted down in the mock up, but I’ve subsequently checked an...

Sanded the kerfed edge of one side while the glue on the other side was drying. I found it far too flexible to hold it in shape out of the mold, so clamped it into the mold, so much easier. Attachm...

Thanks @boo! Yes, it's somewhere between a lemon or a Tigers eye burst. My wife jokingly (I hope) called it a Bert burst, as in Bert and Ernie, but what starts as a joke ..

@liebe That’s a nice burst, very well done. It’s subtle but really effective, classy. 👏👏👏👏
