Posted by: @wolframmalukker What metal? Aluminum? Steel? Bronze? Titanium? I would avoid aluminium as it’s a far softer metal than the steel/nickel of the strings. If this is a purely electronic uke...

@wayne_f glad you sorted the fret problem, I was looking at making a fret bender so clearly something to keep in mind. It’s looking really clean though, good work!

Posted by: @russ if I manage to keep it tidy One thing worth doing is to figure out which tools you use often and mount them to a board on the wall. I’m very limited on space here and can’t do that ...

Right, so I’ve fixed the screw and the electrics, turns out it was down to a bad earth connection where I had a glut of wires coming together. Decided to take everything out and rewire outside the gui...

Hi guys, so for my next build I want to construct a 7 string, are there any tidbits of advice anyone can offer up specific to doing that? Mostly wondering if I need additional strength in the neck? I ...

@russ one other thing please make sure there is ventilation in the shed so you don’t get trouble with damp and mould?

@russ Love it, are you tooled up so to speak or do you need to go shopping before you can start the build? Have you designed what you plan to make, I don’t recall seeing any plans?

There is an easy way to get broken screws out @rocknroller912 Worked a treat, Mark suggested the same. If you overlook where the finish is a bit destroyed where I had to twist the pickup mount off it...
