What are the easiest steps to create a guitar? The easiest way to build a guitar is to follow Mark Bailey's step by step course. I followed the course and have now built three electric guitars. Now I...

Sign up for the course.

The easiest and fastest way to make a guitar of your own would probably be to sign up for the course "Build you own electric guitar" on this site. /a> I did that and followed the detailed instruction...

Hi, I'm Sanjeev Mansotra new member of this community. Since childhood, I have loved to create things once I created a guitar with cardboard. What are the easiest steps to create a guitar? What size s...

@russ - reference your comment on the Quay sessions on an earlier post - I was looking through YT for a video version of this track (which I've been listening to on a 2011 Rough Trade Records compilat...

Hmmmm ... I'm now wondering if that's some sort of word-association thing. You saw the poster's name and when straight to completely nuts ... No, of course not 😉

@tv101 This is not helpful at all, but I read the subject as "Completely Nuts" at first. I should use my compensated reading glasses, i suppose. 😀

I might - just as a challenge for the CNC. From what I've seen, their shims are made to fractions of a mm, and have to be fitted as a matching pair. It'd be an interesting challenge to see how close...

😆 Not so local Koen - unless you're planning on taking your latest wow creation on a European (and, post-Brexit, non-European) tour?? 😉 If you've got a Taylor, their CS (based in Netherlands) ...

You could just make the shims yourself anyway and keep the Taylor supplied shims as a plan B ? That's what I would do 🙂

YOU are your local Koendb's authorised service center 😉

Who's used them, have you found them to be more accurate? As part of my on-going Taylor GS-mini set-up project, I've been watching a few YT videos (none involving cats), including one from a guy who w...

Nice work James, looking good.

Nice one James, looks great. I’m going to have to have a go at making one soon, everyone seems to be building acoustic instruments in recent times.

Good to see you back doing mad things again @Boo

there was cool one that ben crowe made of crimson guitars where he made a 12 string with a rickenbacker inspired headstock, not sure if I like it, but it is good for saving space.

I agree with you, the weight being a primary issue with the longer headstock, I also think it would suit a strat style 12 string better than a tele style, thanks for the feedback.

@robin I agree with you robin, it's been holding me back a bit but now I can continue with the real build, I will go with the 6 x 6 headstock.

@tyreman I like the idea of a straight string pull, thats what I try to do with the six string headstock design that I use. But, I do agree with the other guys that it looks out of proportion.
