Well it's not a Bank Holiday weekend so it might even be sunny!

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment........ not that I'm much of a protester. 🤫🤭 🙏🙂🎸🎶

It would be amazing to hear Roxy sing over Jon’s guitar playing. @darrenking that would be excellent to hear! Amazing guitarist and loved Roxy’s vocals too, there’s something very special about singe...

Here are two very different versions of the same brilliant song, one an instrumental by the amazing Jon Gomm, and the other, by a real local favourite of mine, Roxy Searle. It would be amazing to hear...

can't decide whether her voice is interesting, or annoying @Russ. annoying can be interesting @tv101. 😂🤔 🙏🙂🎸🎶

As I need to apply the guitar finish before glueing the neck I’m not sure when to drill the holes for the bridge. Current thought is that I could dry clamp the neck in now and drill the bridge holes t...

If your neck pocket is tight then the neck will be in the same position so you should be able to drill bridge holes now - can't see it being a problem - only issue would be if the neck can wobble side...

@frocesterbill that was my thought but there’s no play in it, I’ve rushed a few decisions on this build and things haven’t always gone to plan, hence the paranoia!

@tej What type of bridge do you have. If it has some intonation adjustment that should take care of any small changes after the neck is glued.

@rocknroller912 it’s a gotoh 510UB my concern is around possible need for lateral movement as opposed to the intonation. I’ll set it up on some scrap and see what play there is in it.

@rocknroller912 this is the bridge I have below. It’s a little different to the one @markbailey uses in the video. I was planning to mount it with the posts in line with the scale length line but 6mm...

@tej If it’s got side adjustment it sounds like a plan but I’m not an electric guitar expert. If your neck is a tight fit there shouldn’t be much difference between the test fit and the final. I can s...

@rocknroller912 I’ll keep that in mind if I ever make a “real” guitar then. Measuring the string lengths nut to bridge on another guitar with the same scale length suggest the adjustment should be mor...

Has anyone had success with DIY transfers, pricing up an A4 2 colour transfer sheet from approved is coming in at just under 100 which I just cant justify the price of?

For anyone who’s contemplating using these people they happily sent me some samples to use to test out finishes on. The samples went on really well too! I’ve a couple of other avenues to try with this...

@markbailey Thanks for posting the link. You’ve certainly cleared a path through the mine field of sourcing supplies for all us amateurs. It makes life a lot easier.

Thanks for that @markbailey ! Gonna find a similar supplier more locally, but at least I know what to look for now 🙂

Nice!! I bet Mark has tried this with Carol's coffee table at some stage!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Looking good @bpower. Just a question, and this isn't aimed at you particularly bpower, but why, when all the other braces and the bridge reinforcement plate have to abut the cross braces, are the cro...

@bpower Very neat job
