Excellenté @tej. It looks fantastic. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@tej Awesome Result man! Congratulations

@rocknroller912 Thanks, it’s tricky, obviously my aim was perfection so these small things do niggle me but as I think boo pointed out, if I don’t mention them most people just wouldn’t notice these t...

@tej It looks super. When you listed all the “mistakes” in various posts I was expecting a disaster.

@markbailey 6 months ago I signed up for your build your own electric guitar course, drew some pictures, ordered some blanks and a fretboard from you, got a load of parts, changed my mind, changed the...

@darrenking Ive never built a bass but I was doing research for a friend who wants to create a replica Fender Music Master bass that was his first one in the 70s. I found that they were built from a s...

@darrenking I don’t know Darren, I haven’t built one yet either. I would imagine it is all the same materials used as standard in guitar building. My Squire J Bass has a maple neck with a rosewood fre...

Hi peeps, I have just been asked by an old friend if I have ever built a bass guitar to which I answered ‘not yet’! Are there any real basics I should consider with regard to body/neck materials? I am...

@tej First of all, I think the guitar looks great, great job. If it was me, I would leave it, the glue doesn’t really stand out that much and it’s not in a noticeable place. If I really did want to ...

@robin thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the glue is in the grain a little too so I’m not convinced either will actually work, why I didn’t mask it before glueing is beyond me 😔

@tej Thats looking really good, the depth to that green is great. Try scraping the glue residue with a blade, I think you could be more accurate in what you're removing that with wire wool. I wouldn't...

@koendb thanks 🙏 I checked around the join, there’s a gap (😔) on one corner where I’ve not fully seated it in the pocket on one side, I’d need a feeler gauge to measure it so it’s smal...

@Tej Wow man really nice result ! I really dig the color as well.Regarding the neck position, can it be that it not only is seated a bit lower, but also that it moved back a little bit? that might exp...

Finally after finishing, having to sand back and re-apply the finish I have the neck in. Now, one of us, let’s say me, seems to have left a thin coat of glue residue where the heal of the neck joins t...

I’ve used a round file before. I use a really fine, thin, round file @boo I’ll have to look at the type of file you’re talking about, I have a half round mini file that might to, between that, @rock...

clean out the finish build up from post holes by running a sharp knife carefully round the inside @rocknroller912 thanks for the idea, i think the initial layers will be cured hard by now, I can test...

One thing I would advise though is that you mask up the neck pocket at least, @boo yeah I figured that a few coats in, masked it up and then started removing it between coats as it was building up a ...

@tej For stuff like that, I’ve used a round file before. I use a really fine, thin, round file (a chainsaw sharpening file). Be careful just to push the file down into the hole and along the top edge ...

@tej Its possible to clean out the finish build up from post holes by running a sharp knife carefully round the inside. I know this sounds scary but the knife will take paint off without damaging the ...

Progress on the body finish @tej It’s looking superb. One thing I would advise though is that you mask up the neck pocket at least, it doesn’t matter too much about the pickup cavities. 👍
