@markbailey @tv101 @jamesbisset What's it like having the two of them in the same room? 🤣.....A lot of shenanigans I imagine.....🤣 Good to see you all working away. 🎸🙂...

Forgot to say that I hammered in a few frets before I glued on the bridge. Attachment : PXL_20230519_133334567.jpg And beveled the edges. Attachment : PXL_20230519_144658653.jpg Ἳ...

Once the position of the bridge is marked out I drilled two 4mm holes through the soundboard where the holes for the E strings will go. Attachment : PXL_20230525_084656972.jpg Attachment : ...

Cheers @boo. I did wonder whether I'd ever get there. Still haven't got round to my bandsman yet. This summer has been a bit full on with other stuff. 🙏🎶🙂🎸
