My ultimate goal is to get into making archtop guitars. @igeorgebot Is that archtop electric or acoustic guitars?

All the ideas are great!!! My ultimate goal is to get into making archtop guitars. Cheers everyone!!!

Yeah that and how to rout/cut a blade switch into a body please. @mattbeels Yeah that is a great suggestion. This is how I've done it ... Using a very thin router bit in my Dremel to make the roug...

@tv101 Great job! I had the idea of using a Tele control plate but wanted to get some other ideas, cheers!

So it’s now over engineered but that’s the way I roll anyway. @boo Your name could be Overbuilt Guitars 😄

Your name could be Overbuilt Guitars @mattbeels 🤣🤣 Or it could be “Smaller profit margin Guitars”

Or it could be “Smaller profit margin Guitars” @boo Yeah, that’s probably the best we can hope for 🤬🤞😂

Lovely looking !

Those acoustic Explorer and V’s are made in Germany (where else?) by Boris Dommenget Custom Guitars. They ain’t cheap either! I saw him years ago at the first Holy Grail Guitar Show in Berlin, I didn’...

A thick flake coating would probably not be a great idea for the top (might work fine for the sides though, Ovation have made theirs out of composites for decades after all), but I wonder if a light c...

We're talking to our TV expert Steve about how to improve the lighting - some of the shots a bit dark but apart from that pretty chuffed! It will be interesting to see if Darren can come up with a sel...

@markbailey Yeah another top notch video today Mark and Carol, informative and so entertaining. A true life saver. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

@tv1 It is a shameI think I'll be buying that third edition, I don't know if he's leaving family behind that it will help, but the original was a part of the journey that brought me here to this forum...

Hi Darren. When I was talking about slippage I meant in the context of an inbuilt "clutch" similar to Robbie O'Brien's ( ) Hopefully you wont need it but if you press too hard it slows down, hence le...

I’m pretty sure the techies at the polishingshop.co.uk will have some good advice on both the compounds and the best grade of mop to use for any given lacquer. I am happy to ask them the question unle...

Hi Boo, This is the standard information that they publish covering car polishing systems and those suggested for guitar polishing. I’ll give them a ring next week and ask the question though. Darren

Hi Darren. Fantastic idea and a great alternative to the SM buffer for people with limited space and the predicted budget certainly makes it affordable. Have you thought about any "give" in the speed ...

Hi Mike, thanks for your comments. The shaft protrudes from the external bearing by about 300mm and at 25mm thick I don’t expect a lot of flex. The final 100mm is reduced to 20mm and the end is thread...
