If you’re still thinking about making this I had another idea. @rocknroller912 still thinking about it but thinking of using a pulley instead so that I can just use a shaft I know is true. Given the ...

@jonhodgson if you do find it again please share the article, I had a quick search around but couldn’t lay my hands on it.

Or, not enough to worry about .... @tv101 so I did the same just and it measured at 0.0863mm, I’ll leave this one alone 😬 but thank you for going to the trouble of pointing how pointless my c...

@mattbeels @tv101 So having mooched around further I’m looking at these instead, any gotchas I’ve overlooked. Still 52mm E to E so my neck taper will be fine and a 12” radius over the saddles: There...

I’ll look for another bride The edit function really needs fixing!!

But - seriously - I've never bothered trying to fine tune the set-up to that extent. @tv101 sadly this is the kind of thing that will bug me! Given I’ve not started the actual build I’ll look for ano...

So from a glace it doesn’t look like they will adjust in height after all. Just need to work out what the reality of that is. Given I’ve not started it’s tempting to keep for build 2 and just get a 12...

Hot Slags went into my first Bailey BYOG course build. @tv101 curiously that’s what I was planning to use for mine, so much more of the sound depends on what you plug it into it’s hard to get recomme...

@mattbeels irritatingly i didn’t consider the radius of the bridge despite ensuring the fretboard radius was what I wanted. I’d presumed that the saddle height on all bridges was adjustable. I’ll have...

Hah, yeah I thought mentioning the scale length was somewhat irrelevant afterward. I think they’d be bang on if I’d gone with a 54mm bridge, anyway, given it’s not something I’d paid the slightest att...

I’m looking at a pair of pickups for my bandsman build, the iron gear ones I’m looking at have two options for spacing Bridge = 52mm, Neck = 50mm E to E on my design over the centre of the bridge Humb...

@tv101 I honestly thought I’d looked on axetec as I was looking to get pickups from there!! Clearly didn’t look very well! Does remind me though that I need to decide on pups!!!

I'm not a fan of bits of cheap black plastic appearing *anywhere* on a guitar! We spend ages crafting beautiful pieces of timber into precise shapes, finishing them with love and care ... and then st...

Thanks guys, I think unless I decide to make the body a lot thinner I’ll leave the custom bit for now. From memory I think the blank I’ve ordered is about 45mm so unlikely to take it down this time.@d...

Just looking at router bits i have in preparation, in the video to clean up the headstock after cutting the angle with the bandsaw, Mark routes the headstock flat. The text says use any router bit for...

When people talk about hobby lathe it’s usually something quite big but just not very good quality. @rocknroller912 Where as this is quite small and also not very good quality 🤔 To be fair us...

@rocknroller912 Firstly, you need to understand that what you mean by lathe is likely more capable than what I own, it’s one of these: Attachment : 0B17922A-2BD7-452B-AC65-34C7189BDEAD.jpeg so ...

@rocknroller912 I only have tiny hobby wood lathe, no way it would have the torque needed to cut thread in steel. I’d not really considered this. So, plan B, i could use a softer metal, brass or alumi...

@rocknroller912 sounds like a good plan too, I’ve got to get some more tube anyway now as the piece I was using went astray!

I’d never contemplated butchering mine, will investigate later!!
