Tried editing my post above to add another link but the forum's not letting me, so... The link to "Rag n Bone Brown" is when he first got his Mirka. Look at the one below though, it's from a general Q...

Its OK.You can apply the finish over the frets - file/sand it off later - a lot of factory guitars have been made this way. It is not ideal as it makes repair harder but not the end of the world 🙂 I t...

@robin thinking of that. Also have a wipe on polyurethane

That looks good Clinton. You can get very narrow masking tape that model makers use, that might be good to mask off the fret wires while you lacquer the fretboard.

Made my first bolt on following the bolt on course. Just had to do it after watching the recent you tube live streams, I decided on 21 frets. Haha. Access to truss rod however, I opted by the headstoc...

@tv101 This is the extractor.

But neither has the power take-off thing to auto-switch the extraction @tv101 With the extractor added in as well, the full setup is actually about £800 give or take, bit better than I thought. It’s ...

Actually this is a good deal.

Hi folks! Just a few words about myself...... I'm 60 (61 in a few days, but still 24 in my head) and live in a small village in South Essex (UK). Started playing guitar at 12, been singing ever since ...

@russ Did you make the transfers yourself I bought the waterslide paper and used Windows Paint to draw the logos, then printed on an inkjet printer. You have to spray them with a clear coat before y...

@boo Are you going to seal them in with some clear coat? Yes I'll be spraying the face of the headstock and the truss rod cover with a clear coat. Hopefully that should make the surround of the tra...

@robin Cheers Robin. I might give it a go. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@tv101 I designed it with the aim of keeping the strings as straight as sensibly possible This is headstock style I'm using in my next build, the strings don't get much straighter than that. Atta...

@tv101 Another reason the electric version is better than the air version is that you don’t have to put up with the airline plugged in to the sander, it can get heavy and irritating. This is the one ...

@tv101 Hi Tony, just checked out the Mirka hand sanding blocks. I didn't know they existed. Looks like a great cheaper alternative....... although I would like an electric one. 🙂🙏
...

@tv101 Truss Rod cover logo looks neat The truss rod cover has a bit of your veneer on it, left over from the same piece that I used for the headstock. The gibson style headstock has plenty space fo...

@tv101 My next build that I'm drawing up now has narrower tapered headstock, based on a Tanglewood Tomkat that I have. It's similar to the Bailey headstock too, and like you say, not so much space the...

Posted by: @ Hi Robin, Did you make the transfers yourself or have them made up for you? Cheers, Russ 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@robin Yeah good idea Robin, I’m designing my own too. Are you going to seal them in with some clear coat?

this is the headstock design that I generally use. @tv101 Nice headstocks Tony, nice and simple, and elegant. 👍
