I've replaced the video of the John Spijker Trio I posted a few weeks ago for the same video but now with better audio. We recorded the gig on 12 tracks (1 for the vocals, 1 for the guitar, 1 for the ...

@russ By the looks of it, the result is very consistent. I had no problems with fret ends springing up and they all seems to be seated properly. I have not checked or leveled the frets yet, but I expe...

@swepri Love the fret press, I must must must get one.

Fantastic, looks like you’ve done a great job of that. Good shooting with the truss rod access hole and great transition curve from the headstock to the nut area. The issue with the images loading in...

Today I pressed the frets in with my brand new fret press. It is a bit fiddly to use the press, but the end result is more consistent than using a hammer, in my opinion. Filed the sharp fret ends down...

So far, I have only made set neck guitars. Time to try something else - a jazzmaster inspired build. I got some great advice from @Boo on making the neck, so I started out. I bought some maple last su...

Beautiful as usual. 👏👏👏👏

@russ Thanks for the welcome advice, I'll keep that in mind when I get to that stage. Its all back up on top of the wardrobe again for wee while, I'm back at the caravan now for a couple of weeks, go...

I've been a wee bit more productive today. I glued a stop block onto my workbench and sharpened my plane blade, that helped things along. So got the rest of the braces done and marked out where they g...

@steveh well I can blame it on age at least lol

Sounds familiar, somehow... 😀

@nsj yeah, I’m not sure what happened. I was planning to do exactly that, but then didn’t 🙄 🤔

@steveh I place the claw against the back of the spring cavity and move it about until I'm happy it's centred then go round in the holes with a pencil or that. Remove the claw and centre punch the cen...

So, finally mocked up the Floyd Rose rout (note tactical use of screwdriver as there is no string tension to keep the bridge level. I’ll try to get the spring claw a bit better centered, but on the wh...

Got the comfort carves done today. I had a go with the grinder and sanding disc on the arm carve but gave that up and went back to good old hand tools. Attachment : 1000028878-01.jpeg Atta...

Today was a little tidy here and there and then onto bridge fitting, pickup routing, control cavity and wire holes. I set the depth stop on my drill press to about 20mm and drilled the corners then ro...

Today I smoothed out the back and front and did the neck heel transition area. Attachment : 20231029_154154.jpg

Really appreciate this info, @brian, thanks mate. Been an admirer of Mojos for a while; think they’ve done a new selection recently too. Will check it out.

@nsj nah, sheds are bigger lol
