Posted by: @ Hi Rich, Welcome. Hope you enjoy the experience too. Cheers, Russ 🙂🎸🙏🎶

@pdxguitar Hey Rich, welcome to the forum, it’s good to have you here. You have joined at a really good time because some of us here are going through the Build Your Own Electric Guitar Online course...

@pdxguitar Hey Rich, here is the link to my online build (for the second time for me) Others may do the same. And, one of my online guitar teachers lives in Portland, Paul Gilbert.

Awesome thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I am diving in to the "Design your own guitar" videos this weekend.

I bought a kit for my first home build for that reason, to make my build a close fit to the course build but that was shipped to the UK. I did add a cap to the kit and had the body blank thickness r...

Wondering if anyone has bought the electric kit and shipped to the US. How long did it take? Also anyone else have any luck just buying all the parts on their own? I feel like my best chance at suc...

Thanks @bart-van-der-kemp, I'll have a look on you tube for him. I like seeing different ways of doing things. I've been using the glue to fill the gaps under the fret tangs and sanding/polish up so I...

Hi Adam, I have seen Jonny Kinkead using the thin superglue as a lacquer after making the fret ends flush. You can sand and polish it. It’s in a refretting video from that pedal show. I was also looki...

Hiya all, I really enjoyed Mark's video on fretting today (thanks Mark!). I've got a question on refrets that I thought some of you might be able to help with. I'm happy and quite competent with refr...

Interesting idea @mezy try on some scape and see how it goes. I’d be interested to see the results..

My planned archtop is going to require lots of binding, which requires lots of Precision Routing. My lovely partner (for it is she) has a Dremel MultiPro she says I can borrow. And StewMac (sigh) have...

Awesome. Do you carve necks with an axe @jamesbisset that’s extremely manly... seriously I saw a demonstration of a guy doing exactly that at Tonetech’s shop

Sorry @TV1010101 it looks like you already covered that point..

I’ve been trying thinking about the bridge. You should still be ok with a set neck but the angle may be shallower than say a W/o bridge. What height is the bridge? As long as the neck angle hits at t...

I meant to put in the post ...what I mean by glossy is the same paint and lacquer as one. It’s a similar process but not polished to a shine...it still needs filling (unless you want visible grain).

I agree with @TV1010101 mahogany would be nice. Could you not do a bolt on neck but glue it in. I’ve always thought bolt ons should have a slight angle in any case and that’s why some shim them. Pers...

Not a lot of crown left!!

They do look a bit flat top......

It could look classy if you plug nicely with a contrasting wood and re-route? I'm sure that's one of your ideas anyway...

OK - but make sure you understand this first: 38mm E-E with 42mm overall width only leaves 2mm each side - I would say this is not enough. After you have the angle on the frets your playing surface i...
