@rathius Since the margins are small, maybe you could shorten the springs a little? I would try to calculate the required pickup height over the body and go from there to derive the depths, taking in...

@tyreman Congrats! Turned out very well. 👍 Did you get the balance right with both weight relief and 12 tuners?

Pask Makes I really enjoy watching this man build stuff. He probably can make whatever he wants out of anything. I think this is the second guitar build he does, and it didn't even look hard. A real h...

@boo A piece of art! Will last a generation or two. But isn't it slippery with that glossy finish?

I have only tried the Crimson Guitars stuff. Expensive little bottle, but does the job well. Probably the same ingredients anyway. I had problems with one guitar and shielding paint, where i painted t...

@liebe As @nsj said, longer shafts on the router bits is useful. I use these:

@boo Nice! Built with love and care. Do you dare to actually use that fine bench when finished? 😀

@nsj That one turned out great!

@liebe Looking good!

@boo That is a solid bench!

It is the MicroJig system with dovetail grooves. The clamps costs an arm and a leg, but it is worth every swedish krona.

@liebe I followed the great step-by-step process from @boo that he posted in this thread: I admit, drilling the access hole was not the easiest step. I also prepared a bit more than in the pictures a...

@russ By the looks of it, the result is very consistent. I had no problems with fret ends springing up and they all seems to be seated properly. I have not checked or leveled the frets yet, but I expe...

Today I pressed the frets in with my brand new fret press. It is a bit fiddly to use the press, but the end result is more consistent than using a hammer, in my opinion. Filed the sharp fret ends down...

So far, I have only made set neck guitars. Time to try something else - a jazzmaster inspired build. I got some great advice from @Boo on making the neck, so I started out. I bought some maple last su...

@nortski In the end it will be personal preference of course, but there are practical reasons too. The way Fender does it allows for a nice transition between the fretboard and the top surface of the ...

Sounds familiar, somehow... 😀

@nortski Welcome! If not using a bandsaw, maybe you could borrow a decent powered jigsaw for the curvy bits...

@nortski I don't think the exact specs matter that much. Shaping and slotting the nut is done very late in the process and you make it fit the guitar you just built, matching the neck width, height of...

@nortski It is not unusual to fill the slot with glue, either before inserting the fret, or using thin superglue applied at the fret ends. This should supposedly secure the fret ends and make firmer c...
