Don't know what they're up to these days @tv101 but apparently still going. 🤔 🎸🙏🙂🎶

I don’t know how much difference it makes. Has it been measured? Or is it another myth of vintage guitar construction? @jamesbisset Just speculating here, but perhaps it isn't so much a myth as an ou...

, it’s soooo much simpler and more accurate imo. I think it's telling that machinists who work in Imperial (i.e. mostly Americans and old school British) work in thousands (or ten thousandths) of an ...

I happily converted to the metric system after moving to Germany, it’s soooo much simpler and more accurate imo. I still measure a few things in imperial like fretwire, action and scale length but pr...

@darrenking Ply patches work ok for this type of cavity repair as long as they are good enough quality to stand up to being routed with home equipment. Sometimes the cross grain causes tear out, remem...

Maybe what's required would be a pair of inner and outer templates. Most makers would have offcuts from their body blanks to cut a patch from, although it would be awkward routing a small patch. @da...

@darrenking Ok, so could the repair patches/blocks be made of birch or poplar plywood? These would be pretty cheap and cheerful (and strong) and a capping of solid could be added by the maker to matc...

@darrenking Yeah I guess you could use ply. Don’t forget if it’s a repair that is going to be painted over, it doesn’t really matter what wood it is. Unless you get a really stuffy, fussy old traditi...

Ten is 30 @mattbeels how did that happen!? Anyone seen my pipe and slippers?

Fun Fact @deej, Ten is 30 Attachment : image.png

Would a Floyd rose fit in there ? Just a though. Plus not many metal starts out there 🤘🏻 @deej Yeah a Floyd would probably fit but it’s not for that kind of client. If it was for me t...

Fun Fact @deej, Ten is 30

Ten is 30 @mattbeels 30? Wow, it doesn’t seem that old but I do now. 😳

Song of the moment...

Do you prefer the long tenon for sustain? I don’t know how much difference it makes. Has it been measured? Or is it another myth of vintage guitar construction? My Yamaha semi has good sustain and a ...

@jamesbisset Do you prefer the long tenon for sustain?

expect this excellent design to be adaptable to a 335 style neck tenon joint? HI @jamesbisset, I don't see why not. The jig just provides a method of easily producing a template allowing you to machi...

I can quite happily work in both and flip between them. @robin That is very handy indeed.

@boo I missed out on the whole Imperial thing, I was brought up on metric thank goodness. I was very lucky that in primary school it was all imperial, in high school it was all metric. On my first ...
