Do you work in imperial measurements? I was reading something the other day about Gibson factory setting for string height. Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a probl...

Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a problem with. @robin I missed out on the whole Imperial thing, I was brought up on metric thank goodness.

Would a Floyd rose fit in there ? Just a though. Plus not many metal starts out there 🤘🏻

Got to agree guys...never ought into the tone wood argument unless it was an acoustic...I’ve not had too much experience with 335 or similar semi hollows, hence the questions..

I was given this as a rescue project @tv101 Right, I remember reading that thread now, it was a while ago. Allow me to try again: Well, at least that idiot did a sweet carve on the top. Better? ...

I’m with you @boo, fix ‘er up. Love the logo in the neck pocket 👍

I've been watching them @darrenking. Toyah is either struggling or thriving in lockdown. 😁 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Just wondering ... don't suppose the customer was planning on a baritone guitar??? @tv101 It’s funny you should ask that. I did think of it and contacted him to check, he said no it should be a stand...

@boo I like @Rocknroller912 's idea of replacing one big chunk and re-routing all the cavities. Then seeing @darrenking 's idea of a CNC repair block and matching template, I like that better. Maybe D...

@robin I only filled in the tremolo cavity to fit a different bridge style which covered the repair, didn’t touch the pick up cavities.

@cheesewhisk Any advice on the volute? As @TV101 says, watch how Mark does it, pay attention to where he carves the facets and where the bump should be relative to the nut, copy that and the volute ...

It would be interest on peoples thought on what makes the best tone. Agree with what TV said. When plugged in it comes down to your fingers, pickups, and amp. Got an ex band mate who used both solid ...

Would carving the centre block make a lot (any discernible) difference to the sound? It will help take some weight out, but other than that ... Who knows @TV101 once you crank it up through an amp a...

I do agree @TV101 but the guitar also has there own unique tone..certain players use the same type of guitar for that reason. Tele’s are twangy etc...

@deej my centerblock is flat but hollowed out in the core in certain areas. The guitar is really light. Both carve top and carve back is also carved internally.

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I've really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I'm stupidly proud of it a...

@cheesewhisk Looking good. My favourite bit of neck carving is the volute.

Any advice on the volute?

My favourite song today (not really mainstream music):

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... it's a wee bit different from their usual stuff but I like it. 🙏🎸🎶🙂
