@russ Cheers Russ, yes I’m loving life in Bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 even though I’ve turned into a full time builder instead of full time guitar ma...

@russ Cheers @robin. It has been an epic journey. You never know..... maybe, one day, I'll bring it down to show you. That would be good, remind me where you are.

My favourite song today:

I'm going with gold hardware for this one. White and gold is quite a good match. Attachment : IMG_20230804_160303.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230804_161021.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230804_...

Time to route. It also routes well without chipping, if you go slow. I also went around with a chamfer bit to give it the smallest of chamfer. Attachment : IMG_20230802_194614.jpg Attachmen...

This stuff cuts pretty well without chipping, if you go slow. Attachment : IMG_20230804_161944.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230804_161935.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230804_161914.jpg At...

@russ I have to take my hat off to you Russ, you're doing some epic work there.

I now have a body blank. Attachment : IMG_20230802_101026.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230802_101034.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230802_153924.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230802_155951.jpg ...

I did this for a laugh and to see if it would work, no reason why it shouldn’t. I had a new bathroom fitted recently and the joiner had a load of decent off cuts that he left me. 18mm marine ply and s...

That's the spirit!

I'm using an unfinished control plate and some unfinished brass knobs. I've got CTS pots, Orange drop cap 47, and a treble bleed. Attachment : IMG_20230825_114037.jpg Attachment : IMG_2023...

I did a couple of test fits to check alignment etc and to get a feel for how it will look and feel as a guitar. I think it's going to look nice, I hope it sounds good and plays well. Whilst the neck i...

Time to whisky stain the neck and get a few coats of finish on it. It's now hanging up drying for a week or so. Attachment : IMG_20230823_133609.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230823_133639.jpg ...

It's looking much more like a neck now. Attachment : IMG_20230821_171441.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230821_171434.jpg

Time for some frets. Attachment : IMG_20230819_170750.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230821_164737.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230817_173550.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230819_163057.jpg ...

Whilst the body is drying, I made a neck. Attachment : IMG_20230709_125458.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230707_193305.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230709_125403.jpg Attachment : IMG_2023...

@robin Yeah, I was a little choked to part with some of this nectar but I also wanted it to be a part of this guitar, my first Scottish build. We’ve had a new bathroom fitted recently and there were ...

@boo Good work and good idea with the whisky stain, I wish I'd thought of that for my whisky barrel top. Maybe you could've just dipped it in the plentiful supply of Campbeltown loch and saved some o...
