Thanks @boo. More great advice. Would you post a close-up picture of the line when it's completely finished? 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Very clean. I have to admit... working with colours and sprays intimidate me more than building the guitar. My late father was an autobody mechanic/painter and left me all his tools that have been sit...

Thats looking really good @boo I’m just stating how important it is to get the prep work right I've been following your advice, wet sanding up through the grits, all it takes is time and patience.

Looks fantastic @boo. When you're masking up the fretboard do you totally cover it or leave a tiny slither along the edge between the fretboard and the neck? How quickly do you take the tape off after...

This looks really cool! Thanks for the tips with the prep work and temperature. Valuable info!

Ingenious @russ I knew there would be a crossover somewhere between gardening and guitar making but this wasn’t an obvious one. On a Venn diagram, there isn’t going to be much depth, the circles will...

@boo Good call on the side dots, it’s usually a plastic rod so it should work. I’ve been saving ebony off cuts from violin pegs for years thinking they will be good for maple fretboard dots but don’t ...

The yellow dots look good @rocknroller912 Yeah, it was something different specified by the customer. I had to use non standard materials to get something so yellow and I have to use something comple...

@boo The yellow dots look good

Great work @boo! How do you like the EVO Gold wire?

Coming along nicely @russ I think once you get going, you will have many guitar builds coming nicely along. There’s no better feeling Russ. Apart from maybe……. a few things but not much…… 🤘&#...

Coming along nicely @boo. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@boo Yes I normally buy it in coils rather than in straight lengths (although I do buy straight lengths sometimes). One good place I get it from is Tone Tec Thanks for that, I'll have a look. I boug...

You're a little Industry @russ I’ve normally got about 3 or 4 builds on the go at the same time. I have 4 at the moment, including a cigar box guitar build. Oh I’ve got that bass to finish off too. I...
