Hello, everyone! I've been following a number of YT channels like Crimson Guitars and Texas Toast Guitars (and lots of general woodworking channels) and finally today I got the Custom Inlays live str...

Hi Pete, you'll find a wealth of help and advice on here and if can sign up to Mark's video courses you'll find these incredibly useful too. There are no magic tricks, just very methodical, and easy t...

Hi Pete, Welcome. I've been kicking around in this forum for a few months now. I haven't started my build yet either but picking up lots of great tips. I've signed up as a premium member and enjoying ...

Is there a better way? @tv101 I just used one edge of an MDF board that was cut in the factory (it is straight), then mark up for the other edge. I then put on a long aluminium clamp as a guide to ru...

I use one edge of the sheet of MDF for one side and then a strip of sticky 80 grit on a flat piece of MDF and rub the other edge to get it straight and flat....

@pdxguitar Hey Rich, welcome to the forum, it’s good to have you here. You have joined at a really good time because some of us here are going through the Build Your Own Electric Guitar Online course...

@pdxguitar Hey Rich, here is the link to my online build (for the second time for me) Others may do the same. And, one of my online guitar teachers lives in Portland, Paul Gilbert.

Awesome thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I am diving in to the "Design your own guitar" videos this weekend.

I bought a kit for my first home build for that reason, to make my build a close fit to the course build but that was shipped to the UK. I did add a cap to the kit and had the body blank thickness r...

Wondering if anyone has bought the electric kit and shipped to the US. How long did it take? Also anyone else have any luck just buying all the parts on their own? I feel like my best chance at suc...

Thanks @bart-van-der-kemp, I'll have a look on you tube for him. I like seeing different ways of doing things. I've been using the glue to fill the gaps under the fret tangs and sanding/polish up so I...

Hi Adam, I have seen Jonny Kinkead using the thin superglue as a lacquer after making the fret ends flush. You can sand and polish it. It’s in a refretting video from that pedal show. I was also looki...

Hiya all, I really enjoyed Mark's video on fretting today (thanks Mark!). I've got a question on refrets that I thought some of you might be able to help with. I'm happy and quite competent with refr...
