There's a Dry transfer paper available (Developed in Japan in 1980s) that just leaves the ink + microlayer of adhesive. I use it for my 'Electric Lady ' logo. Attachment : 20201127_212359.jpg

@Russ Hey Robin, did you write your logo by hand or use a decal? Hi Russ, the logos were done on the PC and printed onto inkjet waterslide transfer paper. It took a lot of coats of lacquer to build...

Like this Pickguard @eddie6string Yeah that is stunning, I agree, I wouldn’t cover that up, it’s beautiful. 👍

@boo What would you all do with a guitar you bought that had plastic cavity covers on? Would you make something out of wood or some other material? With bought guitars I simply leave them. I wouldn...

There are those that make wooden truss rod covers but they’re strong enough. I’ve seen the wooden ones (Taylor for example) split along the grain. Sure they look good and add a nice touch but they ult...

Although doing a few climb cuts to avoid tear out is a good idea. Mark covers that in the course but this is general woodworking info that can be found anywhere. Stewmac is a good resource, they will ...

@robin You are correct. Cutting a hole like a control cavity or for a pickup would be done clockwise. Profiling and rounding over a body would be done counter clockwise.

Oh wow @robin that's a real life saver tip, I wouldn't have thought about that. Great idea @frocesterbill, I think I'll borrow that one.

I have a drawing stuck on the workshop wall that reminds me of the correct direction to move a router round a job - just in case.........

@cheesewhisk Direction is very important - go counter clockwise - the opposite way that the router is spinning Just be careful with your direction. When you're routing a control cavity for instanc...

@mattbeels no apologies needed, this is why I love this site. I have a very healthy fear/respect for all the tools I've picked up for this adventure. I've spent time learning how to use the bandsaw be...

@cheesewhisk Practicing on scrap is one of the most important golden rules! I learned that chunk of wisdom from the mighty Dan Erlewine but it took me a while to actually implement it. 😂 I’ll ...

@cheesewhisk I think I might practice a bit on some scrap That's a good idea. Most of my cockups were with me getting carried away with the router. Having said that, my bit of practice scrap turn...

@boo and that's why I love this place. I'm still laughing at the fact the first real job is to route the neck blank, I have a shiny new router, my first router and the first thing I'm meant to do is a...

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. @cheesewhisk We are all in the same boat, we all have proof. 🤣 Sometimes I think my workshop s...

And I’m gearing up to prove it!
