but I didn't make that one. I know @tv101, you can tell from the photo that it was made by a pro! 😂 Seriously though, why didn’t you specify no BLACK PLASTIC?

Professional builders aren’t offended by customers having specific requirements like no black plastic. It all adds to the challenge and it’s a great sense of achievement when you can tick all the boxe...

Hah, yeah I thought mentioning the scale length was somewhat irrelevant afterward. I think they’d be bang on if I’d gone with a 54mm bridge, anyway, given it’s not something I’d paid the slightest att...

@tej This is the bridge you’re using, right? It looks like a 52mm spacing is perfect! In my experience a slight mismatch on the poles doesn’t make any noticeable difference in the sound but personally...

so I am glad I added those extra 3mm of clearance. 😉 @darrenking The jig looks awesome and I want one but it will have to wait a bit... any idea what it’ll cost to send one my way? 😬

Just in case anybody thinks that my woodworking is limited to things controlled by a keyboard I thought I should put the flattening jig through it paces. I picked an old lump of ash measuring 200mm x ...

I'll be buying one, it's a more than fair price, and it's just cool. Is your neck pocket jig available through Mark and Carol, or would I order that from you? (I have to sort out a Bailey order soon).

Thanks again Darren for all your work on this Thanks for your appreciation Russ, its much appreciated!

I'm not a fan of bits of cheap black plastic appearing *anywhere* on a guitar! @tv101 I completely agree but... ? Attachment : image.jpeg

@tv101 I honestly thought I’d looked on axetec as I was looking to get pickups from there!! Clearly didn’t look very well! Does remind me though that I need to decide on pups!!!

Great to see you getting started @tej. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Remember to measure twice & cut once. 📏📏🪚 🙏🙂🎶🎸

I'm not a fan of bits of cheap black plastic appearing *anywhere* on a guitar! We spend ages crafting beautiful pieces of timber into precise shapes, finishing them with love and care ... and then st...

Cheers Matt for the welcome. 😀 Yeah I'd seen it had only 4 inch depth of cut. I had also considered splashing out on the 350 which has a bigger depth of cut and wouldn't stress the motor as m...

Welcome to the forum @hursty! Rest assured, you’ve come to the right place. With regards to the Record BS 250, it has a rather small depth of cut of 120mm so before you buy make sure that any headstoc...

Hi Tej, Thanks for the welcome and advice. It's going to be a fun journey. 😀

Well done Steve! I think the white stuff is 3mm x 3.15 mm so maybe you had it the wrong way round or maybe it got stretched as it was probably not new. Sorry for the hassle... I've sent you a new piec...

@steveadams. You did well to fix that Steve. I was surprised how easily it came out. 👍 🎸🎶🙏🙂

I’ve never seen a stretch rubber inlay before

Hi Jonathan, You can get them both from me direct at the moment. I have already said that for every three neck jigs I sell direct I will credit M&C with the cost of another, so I am not trying to ...

@darrenking. Thanks again Darren for all your work on this. From my inexperienced eye, it looks great to me. 🙏🎶🎸🙂
