Posted by: @tv101 you can easily take more off, but it’s harder to put it back Pft it’s like you think that saw dust mixed with wood glue doesn’t give a nice finish 😛  I’ve no intention of a top…   Read more»

I was given this as a rescue project

@tv101
Right, I remember reading that thread now, it was a while ago. Allow me to try again:Well, at least that idiot did a sweet carve on the top.
Better?
😆

Just wondering … don’t suppose the customer was planning on a baritone guitar??? @tv101 It’s funny you should ask that. I did think of it and contacted him to check, he said no it should be a standard 25.5” scale…   Read more»

Any advice on the volute?

As @TV101 says, watch how Mark does it, pay attention to where he carves the facets and where the bump should be relative to the nut, copy that and the volute just appears.

Would carving the centre block make a lot (any discernible) difference to the sound?  It will help take some weight out, but other than that … Who knows @TV101 once you crank it up through an amp and everyone’s pissed…   Read more»

I do agree @TV101 but the guitar also has there own unique tone..certain players use the same type of guitar for that reason. Tele’s are twangy etc.. And I agree with that too @deej – my comment was a little…   Read more»

Well @tv101 at least that idiot did some cool inlays! Unfortunately @mattbeels, I can take no credit for the inlays! I was given this as a rescue project.  A friend had commissioned another friend to make him a neck -…   Read more»

@darrenking and @tv101 Here is my idea for my fix. Darren I think that if I could just get out a routing template and repair block, this wouldn’t take long at all so I would seriously look into it.  https://youtu.be/4VZWyYjY1Uc

Now, lets get it right this time … @tv101 Oh yeah, nice repair TV, well done. Now that had to be precise or it wouldn’t have worked. What I am proposing will be less accurate and gaps filled with epoxy…   Read more»

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I’ve really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I’m stupidly proud of it already, such a great…   Read more»

@tv101 Yes risk assessments are very familiar territory for me. At work we had workshops with vehicle maintenance, wood machining/assembly and metal work/welding. I did all the risk and related assessments. We had to work to industry standards set by…   Read more»

Wow!
That’s some investment the person has made.

@tv101 You are gonna love how it’s gonna sparkle. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

I’m betting he’s doing what @clinton described.
(what was that??)

@tv101 I dunno! 😳

I’m also intrigued @boo. I know that you’re ditching your original plan (if that’s what you could call it 😂) and you can’t do what @tv101 did as you’re not using a pickguard… Could it be what @clinton described a…   Read more»

It’s not my usual behaviour, but I’d have to agree with @mattbeels just this once.

@tv101
Thanks buddy! ✊

So, it’s best to agree with him.  Particularly when he starts talking about cushions and curtains. That’s very good advice @tv101! 😂😂😂 But seriously I don’t mind if people want to comment on my cushions and curtains. But if I…   Read more»

Listening to your posts is costing me ££ in new CDs!  Thanks @Russ.
