I don't know if this has been brought up here before, but at 11pm on December 31st the rules on VAT for goods imported to the UK changed for the whole world, not just the EU.Basically if a consignment...

Yes, Stewmac aren't cheap, but they have so many cool looking things. But with the Stewmax option meaning there's no postage on individual orders, it becomes reasonable to make small orders. When I fi...

@rockpile99 Looks great, nice save! Glad to hear that you have a properly functioning guitar... I agree that the finish looks great, what’s your 'sucky sweet' finish?

Thanks Mark It's from the competition I'm afraid; Crimson water based stain, penetrating oil, then a layer of carnauba wax. The neck was taken to 1500 grit then oiled using 2000 grit paper and it's li...

Looks cool - what finish/stain did you use?

After myhowling balls up with that neck the other week, I wanted something to do whilst waiting for replacement wood so I decided to revisit the first guitar I made. It started life as single humbucke...

Hey, what do you think of this and do you think, as guitar builders, we could use it? It looks like a great product, I like the sound of it. Discuss.

And a holographic Dio... It’s a mad gone world!

Me neither @Russ - never saw the proper (whichever lineup, but with Lynott) Lizzy live. One of many things that I'll not be adding to my "I done that" list! You never know @tv101. They managed it w...

In celebration of just having managed to grab the Lizzy Legends Box Set ... @tv101. I never managed to see Thin Lizzy with Phil Lynott but I did see them without him a few years ago with John Sykes o...

Thanks@tv101. After Marks comments yesterday I decided to post this. I've made two with cutaways but decided to try this and a Mahogany one without the cutaway to try make it a little easier. Sides st...

Wow! That’s a beautiful guitar well made. I haven’t built an acoustic yet but your work is something for me to aspire to when I finally take the plunge.

I bought the Beautiful Freak album back in the 90s (?), and loved it @Russ. Eels' output seems to have been a bit patchy since then though, some definite ups & downs. I've not really bothered wi...

A classic @marcel! A real classic (not a virtual one). 🤣 🤣 🤣

Thanks Matt still learning. I used that stitching on the front binding and on the rosette as well but it's subtle and not easy to spot on the photos David Dyke stuff. Attachment : IMG_3260.JPEG

Wow, looks awesome! I really like the "stitching” around the headstock. Great job!

After listening to Mark on Wednesday I thought I would post pictures of one of my latest builds. This is Bosnian flamed maple back and sides with Sitka spruce top, Mahogany neck with Ebony fingerboard...

I never opened a FB account @boo - and certainly see no reason to change that policy now! @tv101 I agree, knowing what I know now, I agree. I never wanted one either but it was invaluable when I went...

I still have my FB account. I belong to some really stupid yet fun groups and I especially have a lot of fun in the Luthier groups talking shit, insulting other people’s work, trolling, giving bad adv...

@boo We are all like-minded I think that is the key, we are all like minded. I think its great that the more experienced guitar makers take the time to help and advice beginners like myself.
