Catchy enough tune @Russ, but wtf are the lyrics all about ??? @tv101. I think he may have been “out of it” when he wrote the lyrics but I think it’s a social commentary on integration…….or the lack of it….   Read more»

@tv101 How about a double neck? 

@tv101. Ever done a through neck? Maybe even laminated? A little ramp carve on the end of the fretboard to flow to the body with the neck angle. Some chambered body wings. That would be so cool to see on…   Read more»

What about polishing an oil/wax finish @boo – would it also work for that? @tv101 Yeah I suppose this machine isn’t just for buffing paint is it? Silly me 🤪  I’m not sure what compounds/polishes would be needed for woods…   Read more»

thanks @boo & @tv101
I’m a little ahead now…exciting day today but can’t share until I’ve edited… ha ha
cheers

@clinton that archtop looks good, I might have to try that for my next build, I particularly like the F holes. There just aren’t enough hours … build, play, record, listen … and that’s without a day job! @tv101  I…   Read more»

Why have I never thought of that!

@tv101
Well that’s probably because @robin is superior at problem solving. And decorating sheds. 

@robin
@tv101
I’m so not into that stuff so I can’t even spell doilies properly, d’oh! Psst… don’t tell boo as he’s already on my ass for my spelling!

Note that Robin isn’t worrying about coffee machines, or bean bags, or curtains or other soft furnishings. His is a proper workshop for working in … Oh yeah @tv101? I bet that @robin is gonna deck out the shed with…   Read more»

@tv101 How are you planning on moving the shed-shop when you move over to the caravan for summer?  It’s well nailed to the ground, it’s going nowhere. The front, back and roof of the old 6’x4′ hut will be moving…   Read more»

@tv101
How about a hollowed out body with a built in speaker so you can just pick up and play when you can’t be bothered to plug into an amp, or is that what an acoustic is for.

@tv101
Laminated neck with a bandsman body shape and cap or drop top. Try something stupid with the electrics like wire the pick ups for stereo instead of mono. David Dyke has some good tops at the moment.

@tv101 just dropping some ideas.. hipshot babygrand tailpiece, filtertron pickups, binding and a nitro finish, maybe a nice inlay pattern on the fretboard

Hey @tv101. How about a plain build but try your skills at a paint job. 🎨🖌️

This probably has more meaning if you lived through the mid-70s and played a cover of this in a school band …

This one somehow passed me by @tv101. 🤷 Good though.
🙏🎸🙂🎶

Posting it to illustrate that holes can come in shapes and sizes other than f. @tv101 Yeah it looks quite funky that, maybe you should finish it, make a neck. It’s certainly a more contemporary idea than traditional F holes,…   Read more»

Well then @tv101 I think you should f-f-finish it!

I bought an NW-A45

That’s the one @tv101…….. simple minds think alike. 🤣

@tv101 @marcel. 70’s music is my favourite Tony but like Marcel I like a wide variety of music. I’m also still a CD and vinyl man…….. all burnt into my Sony Walkman MP3 player.

Your last few choices have been right up my street @tv101.👍😀
