@russ Hope I can pop in sometime before you head to pastures new. My oldest son is back down living in Falkirk so I'm down regularly. Another time then.

I would @robin but I've got to head back up the road. Going out tonight. Sounds like I've got a hectic social life 🤣. Hope I can pop in sometime before you head to pastures new. My oldest son ...

The key is take your time. Think of it as a marathon rather than a sprint (I know it's hard todo!). The choices you have or make at the start will impact you further down the line. A secret is ^^ that...

@nickkuk Looking good, nice work!! 😃 Really like that maple cap on the body. Thought mine was heavy at 4.1kg but you’ve beaten me on that one🤣🤣👍🎸

Greetings! Looking forward to see more of your builds within the forum.. 😊

@somethingnicer Thanks for taking the time to tell us how you go about making your own pickups, thats interesting stuff. Do you experiment with different windings to get different sounds?

Hey everyone, when I made my first post, I mentioned that I have been winding my pickups for awhile now, and many expressed interest in hearing about it. so I’ve always been interested in demystifyi...

hello from Texas! I’m pretty new here too, but I’ve found this to be a great community so far!

I'm Griz, I live in Utah and I've been building guitars off and on for about ten years. I've been a woodworker my entire life so this was just a small excursion from my usual activites. I got started ...

finally worked out what I did wrong today, when I calculated the break angle in the body, I was off by 2.5mm, now it all makes sense, I didn't include the thickness of the base plate, hopefully on the...
