@tv101 Have to agree with you about unplugging the router, they don’t usually have a no volt release switch just a simple on/off so there is always a chance that residual charge could be left in the router if it…   Read more»

Well, I’m guessing that the template slipped? @tv101 No, actually the template stayed in place. The main template that gets stuck down to the work piece is the outer part, it has a hole cut in the middle to house…   Read more»

@tv101 for sure. Going from that rectangular block to a neck carve that I really love felt so satisfying! I like asymmetrical necks so I was kind of concerned about how it would turn out since this was my first…   Read more»

Thanks for the info and you did a stellar job, it looks pretty awesome!
Did you glue it on or use double sided tape?

@tv101

Photoshop.  

That’s what I meant! Err…
Ok, I suck at photoshop! Could you shine a liite more light on the process please? 

Photoshop

@tv101 Ohhhhhh…… You manipulated. 😮 You monkey! 🤣

@tv101 does make a valid point here. The unique thing about the Bagpress templates is that each has several scales, which is pretty bitchin’ if you ask me. I’m really interested in using a zero fret on some builds, and…   Read more»

Ok, so it was the scantily clad glamorous assistant. Got it, thanks.. 
So… did you take a picture of the body before cutting the neck socket?

@tv101 As was my reply  I posted that before I saw your reply, you were fast though! The question you have to ask re the guitar pickguard is “how did that neck tenon join disappear?” Yes, you are correct. My…   Read more»

My previous post was in reference to the bass pickguard.
The one on the guitar looks pretty sweet as it enhances the color. What kind of *cheap piece of shit* plastic did you use? 😂
I’m guessing a translucent red?
 

@tv101 Niiice pickguard, did you buy it or make it? I can easily make an alu guard and there’s a great youtube vid from Maximum Guitar Works where he built a jig to sand them for the brushed look before…   Read more»

I also do that. Even though on my router it would be quite difficult to hit the switch while changing bits I’ve always unplugged it while doing so. I don’t take any chances with that particular job.

I switch mine off, *and* unplug it

@tv101. I’m with you on this one tv. 
🙏🎸🎶🙂

@tv101. Very nice Indeed. 
🙏🎸🎶🙂

here’s a better photo of the scratchplate …

@tv101 That looks really good. 😁👍

Wonder if a paint spraying kit would have any other uses?  Other than spraying kitchen cupboards??

@tv101 Yes I think so. 😁

Just so you know, I’m not having a go at anyone, I’m just messing about @tv101 .  I really do thing plastic pick guards (or other materials) look good in certain circumstances. Oi @Boo – who’s “messing about” with me???…   Read more»

@tv101 @eddie6string @mattbeels You all make good valid arguments for not having plastic pick guards etc and I agree in some cases. Just so you know, I’m not having a go at anyone, I’m just messing about @tv101 🤣👍.  I…   Read more»

I’ve heard back from Deej.

@tv101 Oh good, glad he’s ok. 👍

@tv101 You get a beautiful piece of timber with some wonderful grain pattern, get it finished perfectly, and then stick a cheap bit of plastic (scratchplate) over it?  Nope. Yup, you said it bro. But alas, to each their own……   Read more»
