Hang on just a minute ... People sell guitars???

@nsj Looks stunning as usual. Are you like me that your guitar collection is outgrowing the space in your house or do you sell your creations on? Do you make them for yourself or for customers?

That is the correct opinion @koendb 😆

Awesome @nsj! That neck looks soo good. I generally prefer guitars without pickguard, but looking at these pictures, I realize that, for me, a strat looks weird without one 🤔 The back looks k...

And finished, more or less lol. Just got to do a bit more setting up, intonation, string height etc. Attachment : 20230913_165137.jpg Attachment : 20230913_165156.jpg

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

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 🤣

You're a busy man @koendb. 🙏🎸🎶🙂

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 ...

Really nice work @mikeyrjiom 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@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...

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

As the title implies ... has anyone put some sort of pickup (an associated electronics) into an acoustic build? If so, what did you use, how did you find the result? I'm not committing, but I am *...

@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 ...

And in this heat too - ouch, that's going to be "uncomfortable". Congrats on the second practice run at getting it all into place ... third time lucky? 😉
