@rocknroller912 It’s a tricky one as generally people only experience glueing by practice/experimenting, rarely have I met someone who was taught what “enough” glue looks like and what “enough” clampi...

@rocknroller912 makes sense, the guitar I worked was given to me to play with ultimately so it didn’t matter if I happened to ruin it entirely it wasn’t an issue. What’s your issue with titebond, this...

@rocknroller912 that’s true but I think they’re an invaluable learning resource. My first significant effort at fixing a guitar was when I was given one with a ruined truss rod. Removing the fretboard...

@rocknroller912 yeah very displeased with my Frankenfinish! I took to it with the random orbital in the end and took it right back finishing by hand with the grain. First coat of deep colour went on w...

Sadly what I created was a mess @rocknroller912 I know what you’re getting at but that’s really not what it’d have come out like and is about as far away from what I wanted as you can get. No matter, ...

@robin I had done, it just looked a mess, really uneven texture and colour. Just need to suck it up and start again.

Well this is al getting rather infuriating, finish was going well until I added grain filler, it’s now a total mess, while sanding down the filler I caught the edges too much and took all the colour o...

Apologies to all for radio silence, not a lot to post about while I’m applying coat after coat of finishy coloury gloop, it’s all just more green than it used to be 🙂 As for the headstock logo...

It would be amazing to hear Roxy sing over Jon’s guitar playing. @darrenking that would be excellent to hear! Amazing guitarist and loved Roxy’s vocals too, there’s something very special about singe...

doing a two wood headstock say rosewood @rocknroller the headstock I’ve made is with two woods, neck is mahogany and the headstock is laminated both sides with rosewood. Or did you mean something els...

People seem to have quite a bit of success with DIY transfers on YouTube. I’ll have a look, maybe there are different brands I could try. Home crafted dry rub didn’t work well as it’s ultimately a...

…turns out I calculated the price wrong, A5 sheet in two colours was quoted to me at just under 170, now I really can’t justify that. Think I’ll just buy a pen and learn to write neatly 🤔

@tv101 thanks for the feedback, that’s pretty much what I did in the end apart from moving the bass side back but the adjustment for. The test set up I made was more than enough for the scale length b...

Has anyone had success with DIY transfers, pricing up an A4 2 colour transfer sheet from approved is coming in at just under 100 which I just cant justify the price of?

@tv101 sorry to hear things are tough at the moment, truly hope recovery for her is on the horizon, take care.

@tv101 I have some stain from there, decided against it for this build as it, well, just didn’t look right on the mahogany. It’s certainly a lot easier to apply cleanly though that’s for sure.I do als...

found products that were more predictable @tv101 what did you change to? The main reason I went with this is as I don’t need spray equipment. Have to say the results I had previously were excellent t...

@marcel loving that track!!

Lovely work 🙂🙂🙂

Attachment : 65AD7278-144F-4231-B3C4-25AF4AB81E96.jpeg @tv101 so far the inconsistency is only down to the wood prep and colour. I sanded too finely which hasn’t helped the dye take. The fresh scr...
