Hello! I'm about to start my second guitar. I want this one to be a bolt on neck. I bought a precut (Gibson scale) fretboard from Stewart McD. I'm seeing in the bolt on course he has a "sacrificial" f...

hey all, I’m almost ready to paint my guitar and I went through the finishing course but so far there’s only 2 examples and I want to make sure I’m understanding this. ill be painting a setneck guit...

@liebe hey Dan, thanks a lot. I ended up plugging the hole and just going down to one pickup… this was my original plan to begin with so not worrie. I’ll just cover the pickup hole with a pick guard

So if you remember my post about messing up my scale, I fixed that by altering the design of the body and cutting the top part (closest to the neck) off and making it look smooth. And it came out supe...

When you say glue in, then strip it down and paint. You mean leave the neck in cuz we just glued it, right? so I would just remove hardware and the mask the hell out of the fretboard and other thing...

Quick question about the order of tasks.... In the lessons, Mark glues the neck and then applies the finish. But he's using a wipe on oil..... If I wanted to actually use paint as a finish, is that st...

@robin awesome…. I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me!

@robin Actually, now that I look at it, this doesn't seem too horrible..... I think the may be the easiest method to reshape on this line. Does that jive with you? Attachment : IMG_5066.jpg

@robin That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down?

@robin You know I had that thought, I guess it wouldn't be horrible. Just cut a small curve off the top and sand by hand. I'd love to not if possible, lol

@robin It looks like My pickup and bridge spots don't match my original drawing. I think if my lower pup was a bit higher, this wouldn't be an issue

Hello all, So I'm going through my first build still and I'm running to an issue. Somehow I think I messed up my scale. My neck is mostly done and my pickups are routed and the body cut out. Problem n...

I thought about that..... I've got extra dust, I guess it's no issue if the dot itself gets dust glued to it as long as I sand it back down flush?

Hello all! So I have my front dots installed and as I’m sanding them down I’m noting that on a couple there’s a little bit of gap. Well since sanding the dots flush, the gap was filled with the white ...

Hey all, I'm at the point where I'm doing the radius on the fretboard. In the video what radius is he using? I think 12" seems close. is that right?

@robin Thats great. Thats what I was thinking and what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!

Hey everyone, So I'm in the middle of my first build and I just profiled my neck using a neck profile jig. I made two mistakes..... 1. I stupidly lifted up before the router spun down and I dug into...

Thanks! That’s what was hoping to hear. I built the jig to marks specs in the jig videos. But in the neck route video I think he’s using a different one. His blank looks the same as mine….. One more q...

Hey All, sorry for bombarding with questions. I'm on to the neck angle and the Jig I made at the beginning is taller than Mark's in the video. in his, his neck blank is fairly flush with the top of hi...

@robin that’s what I was thinking. Maybe they just taped it on so it won’t get lost in transit. Thank you. This has been very helpful!
