@tv1010101 I missed that one. Did not wake up in time. Shucks. Just saw the stream. I think it’s time I own a multimeter.

You can get a pretty good one on Amazon for less than £20 and if you are getting involved with anything electrical it’ll change you life!

@darrenking Yes, wish I had a multimeter. My birthday coming up in a few weeks. Hmmm.

I guess anything with an applied surface colour or lacquer is going to benefit from being abraded where the grounding wire contacts. If you don't have on then cheap multimeter could be a great Christ...

I had an issue with EarthLink grounding to a black ABR 1 tune o matic bridge. It was not receiving proper grounding. Practically spent the whole day re assessing, re wiring and soldering, figuring out...

Me too! Good old Nobex!! I bought mine to make some picture frames for an artist in Dunfermline when I was in my late teens. It seemed like a lot of money at the time (£65 from memory - probably get o...

It isn’t spalted maple is it?

I'm using Crimson guitar's finishing oil. @mrsmurfy I haven’t used this oil personally but I have a friend who has and he says it’s not good. Both of us have used other oils such as Danish Oil and T...

Hello all, New to this forum and guitar building. I've been working on a thinline telecaster build for sometime now. The build consists of a Utile back and 6mm maple cap. I've stained the top and n...

Thanks guys. It is one of the most original ways I've spent my b-day. And it all happened spontaneous. I saw an advertisement of this company as a management and performance guitar company. So I figu...

First time using ebony. Any tips? Density? Blades dulling? Fret insertion? @clinton First of all, take you time! Ebony is nice to work but the dust is very fine and you do not want to breath that in,...

I might be able to adapt this mitre saw into a fret slotting jig. @robin I’ve got the exact same mitre saw and I have thought I could convert it for fretslotting too. Having said that, after seeing @...

Part of the fun iv'e been having is doing things for myself, ie making templates. I try to take the same approach with jigs as and when I need them. I might be able to adapt this mitre saw into a fret...

@darrenking You da Man!
