@steveadams I haven't built an acoustic yet, so can't comment on the angle. I do rembemer watching a video of Mark making that type of truss rod. I'm not sure, but maybe the bottom rod should be welde...

Hey @russ Thanks for the reply..as you can see from the video I'm inclined to agree!! cheers Steve

@steveadams. Sorry Steve. I'm no expert in this at all. There is some angle on the neck but I'm not sure that it is as much as it seems in your video. I would expect that the wee barrel nut on the end...

Hey Guys This is a shout out to Mark and all of the acoustic builders..I've made a little video about the truss rod dilemma I have and something I would like to understand before I carry on. So it's a...

Thanks for posting those @darrenking. Can you let me know what the weather will be like on 21st Aug?

can't decide whether her voice is interesting, or annoying @Russ. annoying can be interesting @tv101. 😂🤔 🙏🙂🎸🎶

Here are two very different versions of the same brilliant song, one an instrumental by the amazing Jon Gomm, and the other, by a real local favourite of mine, Roxy Searle. It would be amazing to hear...

Cheers @tv1

Cheers @tej 😀

@darrenking Ive recently watched the video on this and I think that Mark said its because the other braces are flexible enough to take the curve although they are glued on flat and once the top is cur...

Excellent save. I've just emotion-surfed, from the tears of "it's gone wrong" to the almost-a-smile of "hey guys, what do you think". Personally, I prefer the rosewood rosette to the celtic inlay rubb...

I feel like I'm binge watching these on catch-up. That's because I am. Now I want to know what happens next ... let's click on part2 ... excellent save so far!

Hi @jonhodgson, Drop me an email to darren.king@bagpress.com detailing what you are after and your delivery address and I'll see what I can do. Cheers Darren

@darrenking what's the best way to message you?

Few comments ... 1. That's a good bridge. I've used it on a few builds. Lots of adjustment in that, both for the bridge overall and the individual strings 2. Definitely drill the bridge holes *b...

@darrenking .... someone with a little more knowledge may have to answer this one. I'm still new enough that I did it that way because Mark on the video says so. I understand what you are saying thoug...

Looking good @bpower. Just a question, and this isn't aimed at you particularly bpower, but why, when all the other braces and the bridge reinforcement plate have to abut the cross braces, are the cro...
