I am in the middle of editing the update on the rossette saga...I will upload this evening.. @steveadams beer and pringles at the ready for the next episode. Looking forward to the solution!

Blunt router bit perhaps?

@rocknroller912 I’ll keep that in mind if I ever make a “real” guitar then. Measuring the string lengths nut to bridge on another guitar with the same scale length suggest the adjustment should be mor...

@rocknroller912 this is the bridge I have below. It’s a little different to the one @markbailey uses in the video. I was planning to mount it with the posts in line with the scale length line but 6mm...

@rocknroller912 it’s a gotoh 510UB my concern is around possible need for lateral movement as opposed to the intonation. I’ll set it up on some scrap and see what play there is in it.

@frocesterbill that was my thought but there’s no play in it, I’ve rushed a few decisions on this build and things haven’t always gone to plan, hence the paranoia!

A few minor scratches to get out now, then deciding when to drill the bridge holes. Also need to focus a bit of time shaping the tips of the horns as they’re a bit sloppy. Attachment : 90BE98F8-4E...

As I need to apply the guitar finish before glueing the neck I’m not sure when to drill the holes for the bridge. Current thought is that I could dry clamp the neck in now and drill the bridge holes t...

@rocknroller912 ah the trusty lathe, one day I’ll find one cheap enough to justify 🙂 the other thing I thought with the base was that you could polish it to sanding through grades to 2500 gri...

@rocknroller912 did you sort this out in the end?

@clinton shaping up nicely!

@rocknroller912 that was the plan!

@ rocknroller912 thanks sounds similar to what I did with the rubber but would be good to see what results he got if you do find it. Any takers for the whether it’s ok to put stain and oils/laquer on ...

Appreciate the input, I found one can that was spot on for what I needed, for the inside of the horns I glued some EPDM rubber cut off to a chopped up broom handle which really helped even out some of...

Hi, so I want a different finish on the neck and the body so was planning to put the finishes on each before gluing the neck in. I’m presuming I should mask off the faces where the glue will go? Curr...

I would suggest the fretting hammer made by Summit and sold at Tonetech @mattbeels forgot to say, thanks for the recommendation it worked a treat 🙂

but do I think I could convince my wife a thickness sander is a good idea @bpower simply run a poll on here and show her the result of democracy. Surely she’d respect the result and support the idea ...

@koendb after a few failures in making a super accurate template without sanding I concluded it was just going to take way longer so resorted to your suggestion. It’s pretty close to perfect now. What...

@steveadams the way it’s come out for you does make me question whether to stain the wood at all 🤔

@steveadams sorry things have gone wrong for you. One thought that crossed my mind is that you could cut/route (can’t recall what you did in the first place) out what’s there and replace it with a pre...
