Let's get this thread back on the road. For anyone who didn't spot the "feck up" thread, this happened when I added the roundover to the top Attachment : image.png With the benefit of hindsight...

Posted by: @russ Nice work. Did you profile it by eye or did you use a template? 🤔 🎸🙏🎶🙂 Thanks @Russ! 1. Drew the shape - simple drawing package 2. Transfe...

"We don't make mistakes- We have happy accidents" - Bob Ross Nothing like some accidental inspiration. It gives it a very unique look and your fix will make it even more distinct. Maybe you'll want to...

hello, just wanted to share that I made the router base that mark mentions on the electric guitar building course, it took a few attempts to get it right (hence the holes) but should be handy, my next...

I've had some more thoughts ... I'm (probably) going to inlay a thin walnut strip from the jack socket towards the lower knob position, sort of hinting that the walnut tube you see at the jack socke...

Thanks @Robin - it is 25mm as it happens, but look what I did make this morning... Attachment : 20221023_122558.jpg Attachment : 20221023_122616sml.jpg Black walnut - so should contras...

If you've ever split the side of a guitar body while trying to drill the jack socket hole (like I just did) then you'll do anything to keep it from happening again. Some of you may see this as unneces...

I am still moving on with this build, but it's at the stage of add-a-coat-of-stain-wait-a-day-for-it-to-harden. So not many update pics to share. A tin of Liberon Easy French Polish arrived today, so ...

Posted by: @swepri Looking forward to cosy reading in front of the fireplace, while the cold rain is bucketing down outside. 👍 Ahhhh, sounds like summer in Scotland ... 🤣

This book starts with the absolute basics and then builds into pretty much everything you need to know re guitar wiring - how the bits work, what to do if they don't work, designing circuits, et al. ...

@tv101 snack and the to do list. I'm an overachiever. 🙂

Today I've finished the prep work - deepened the control cavity, added the other potholes, drilled the jack socket hole and done a load of sanding. And added a coat of white stain on the back Attac...

And it looks even nicer when the finish starts going on. Attachment : 20220705_132823.jpg Attachment : 20220708_172529.jpg Attachment : 20220705_131124.jpg Attachment : 202207...

Okay, finally posting some progress. Even though the project is just starting I've already made a couple mistakes. Fortunately those mistakes are not difficult to work around. First, I accidentally cu...

Hey there, everyone! So, the project guitar is finished (for a given value of „finished“ - there are some details to take care of yet). But it´s built and it plays nicely - certainly better than the d...

Last Saturday I didn't play with the "Akoestische Heeren" (Acoustic Gentlemen). One of our guitarists was on holiday. So what do you do then? You invite a drummer and turn into the "Elektrische Heeren...

Hello Mark and gang! I hope y'all are doing well. Are there any plans for new lessons or online content in the near future? I would be particularly interested in an ES-335 build series. 😬 ...
