It is either working in the shed or go to the pub and drink beer. I dont have friends so I stay in the shed 🤣

That must have been the days that I wasn't there @jamesbisset?

Thank you all for your comments. @tv101 @russ @koendb I will try to condense the build. I do keep pictures of the builds but there are a lot. I have sold all but the first acoustic guitar so far. No...

Wow @mikeyrjiom - stunning looking work. As Koen says, tell us some more about it and your builld approach. 8 (nearly 9!) acoustic builds in that period of time is impressive too, what are you doing ...

@tv101 just cut teeth in a piece of the tubing and use it to cut all the marker holes. It's on my todo list, my HUGE todo list lol

@nsj @koendb I'm thinking the same way as you both. I've tried giving the switch a good wiggle with no effect. I'm guessing there's a hot wire on the bridge pickup circuit earthing somewhere, i think...

Could be some loose wiring as well, I just had to repair someones LP copy , I switched out the old pots but used the original wiring. He came back to me, a few days later, telling me one of the tone k...

@robin sounds like the switch is dirty, before pulling apart try some violent switching or switch cleaner then some violent switching. Bad switch is the only thing that makes sense otherwise the neck ...

I'll just repeat that it's a very long-term consideration @koendb 😉 And probably something that will use so few correct tools and techniques that you'll be crying on the floor ...

Finally! 😊 I have little experience in quality or characteristics of pickup systems for acoustics so not a big help I am afraid. But I am interested in this too

@tv101 🤣 🤣 🤣

I will not say anything about Bassists because @Marcel is bigger than me. And he has more friends.

@koendb Nice choices. I keep meaning to make a bass, it’s on my list.

Yesterday I started on my first bass build. Wilkinson pickups, bridge and tuners.Flamed Ash body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Attachment : F1D85202-9B31-401E-888D-EAE6221E1FC2_1_105_c.jpe...

Great to see people back in the workshop again. I will have to sort a trip out to Ayr from the Isle of man and maybe get in a hollow body course. 😉

@mikeyrjiom Love it! beautiful inlaywork, beautiful wood. Can you tell a bit more about it?

I started on Mark's Build your own Acoustic course in May 2018. Loved every minute of it and can highly recommend him as a teacher of Luthiery. completed the acoustic and Electric courses over the nex...

Unfortunately, this version sounds quite flat and lethargic. Just been listening to my CD and it feels much more lively ... Still a great track though.

My favourite song today:
