Sweet @boo! A Bumblebeesman!

Anything else out of the norm on this one? @mattbeels It’s another one pickup special with no pick guard and a hidden tenon joint. It’s going to be finished in matt black paint (neck included), Gotoh...

Gibson scale eh @boo, going for something different I suppose. Anything else out of the norm on this one?

My hanging rack is filling up. It certainly is @boo. You're own little guitar factory. Have Fun. 👍😁 🙏🎸🙂🎶

Multi guitar building. Well impressed. @russ Thanks man. When the weather is terrible, I can’t get any gardening done and when other builds are hung up waiting for paint to cure and settle, I might a...

You're a busy man @boo. Multi guitar building. Well impressed. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Out of the clamps and ready for the bandsaw. I’ll be marking up the angled headstock to get it in a couple of routing jigs (surface routing). Attachment : A5035F76-37A0-4D56-B611-C2805FEC98A9.jpe...

Good morning fellow builders, how are you all? I’m starting another build, a Bailey Bandsman again. Started with the neck by marking everything out, this one is going to be 24.75” scale length, Gibso...

@koendb It was cheaper to buy in bulk than small quantities with postage and bulk discounts.

@rocknroller912 that is a lot of necks you gonna be building with those 🙂

I have all the original paperwork to prove it’s legally sourced. Also there more in the loft. @rocknroller912 Good stuff, I’m impressed. 👍

@boo I got some supplies when they were on offer. Wait till firms want to unload stuff. I think the rosewood was £6 each ten years ago and the Ebony was £10 two years ago. I like to spread my investme...

Now the big question - ebony or rosewood fretboard. @rocknroller912 Are you opening a new supply shop? 😳🤩

@tej That might be a bit hard but I do have an ebony plank I got from David Dyke suppliers a while ago, not sure if ebony is good for laminating it might better just for fretboards.

Now the big question - ebony or rosewood fretboard. Laminated combination 😉

@tej I didn’t think of checking the web it’s too much like being back at work

@rocknroller912 can’t see why you’d need to as it’s not going to be pushing on any wood. I can’t find any examples on the internet where anyone’s taken a fillet that far either. Apprécie though I don’...
