Yeah @boo. I find everyone else needs me to do something during my precious guitar building time. 🤣 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@boo looks great. I think I've found an alternative to the treble bleed - the 50s wiring. Google it. Apparently a thing. It will give a similar effect. I did it on my Tele and the effect is nearly the...

Getting it together now. I just need to find a few more bits to put on it, such as another string tree and strap buttons. Oh, I may want to fire up the soldering iron too so I can wire in the pickups....

@boo looks great!!!

@nsj The super strat! Looking real nice!

@koendb Cheers, I use a bowl and dish router bit. Sort of trace the outline of the inner horns on paper then draw a nice circular shape and finally cut out an mdf template which i fine tune. Works gre...

@boo this is me slowed down or it'd be finished by now! 🤣

@nsj The curve of the carving around the neck pocket is just beautifully executed! 🤩 😍

@nsj Ohhh, it’s a hardtail. Nice, I love it, especially the fretboard. Will you slow down making guitars, you’re making the rest of us look bad. 😆

Today I g ot the round over done, cavity sorted and made the slot for the blade switch. Used the router dremmel attachment and a straight edge as a guide. Attachment : 20230828_171248.jpg At...

Got the bridge mounting sorted as well as the string through holes, also the pickup cavities as there will be no pickguard as usual. Hoping my 1/2 inch roundover bit arrives tomorrow so I can crack on...

@swepri thanks! It's been an excellent learning opportunity too. Onwards to the next build!

Yes indeed, and it surely does not help that you can t reach the sympathetic strings easily to stretch them , if the play strings are all mounted

Nice work on the headstock repair! I've restrung and tuned a sitar before, that is a never ending job!

@koendb Nice, I think we have some very similar ideas in creativity.

@boo I used it to repair some ground poles that where slowly rotting away. But I intent to use it for lots more, like making table or stool legs, etc...

@koendb Man I love the shavehorse. What do you use it for? I want to make one, I’ve been thinking about it for ages.

@russ Thanks! It will replace my backpack I was using to drag my tools, pencils and notes back and forth from Lute building class.A bit heavier, but nicer to open a drawer then to go looking for that ...

Lovin' the wee tool chest @koendb. 🙂🙏🎶🎸
