@deej That is such a cool CBG, love those number plate ones.

Not a proper guitar but still fun and electric. Very south Americana. @deej That is cool, it’s something on my list a CBG. I think it looks great and if it plays good and brings musical joy, it is a ...

I have done a few @johnnierox-boo and thanks...I prefer number plate CBG’s with proper pickups. The one above uses a piezo pickup. Attachment : 9B1FBE50-6278-4A4F-888A-4930B886B266.jpeg Atta...

I’ve just remembered this reminded me of a CBG I made and used a blow torch to get the burnt look... Attachment : 86E9D759-B3ED-466C-A22F-496BF1513736.jpeg Attachment : 4DBFA9AD-2A93-422A-B...

Hi John, No problem. Do you have the drawing as a PDF or only on paper? Either way its easy for me to do, the paper version just requires a little more time to scan and redraw. Either PM me with the a...

@darrenking Could you make me a set of master templates for routing a guitar body please? I have made a 1:1 drawing so could send it you. it’s for this body shape. Attachment : 71969EF1-8C3C-417...

Posted by: @ @darrenking That is a great idea as well as being amusing! Now we have an actual reuse for polystyrene! ?

There have been numerous occasions when, if I had a blow torch to hand, things may have take a particularly bad turn!! I have learnt that it is useful to have something valueless and easily breakable ...

Thanks @russ for your kind words. I have about five going at the moment and more to come. Some are necks for existing bodies and some I will be making bodies for as well. So all the necks in this pict...

Hi John, How many guitars have you got on the go at one time. All looks very impressive. Cheers, Russ ? ?

Sanded it back, applied some stains and finished with many coats of Tru Oil. Attachment : EF22BE0E-09F5-49CA-9D5D-33194A9C8736.jpeg Attachment : EF005ABC-C766-45A5-9DDF-42480F6D17B3.jpeg ...

What was a Gibson master craftsman doing at Tonetech's shop??? It’s complicated. Suffice to say, in the end I removed to the south west of Scotland. Least said, soonest mended.

I’m taking a brief respite to build the Mighty Bench of Bodge! I have the tools. I have the bench. Now will someone bring me a neck blank!

Don’t spoil the surprise @robin I always get a little giddy when putting in the finishing oil and watch the wood just pop...I think it’s gonna look really nice.

@rocknroller912 Alder is used in River/Stream bank revetment as it endures well once submerged

@rocknroller912 Just as you said, the keruing is very hard to glue, I had left a couple pieces glued and clamped for 24 hours, they just knocked apart with wee tap of a hammer this morning. Also, i...

@rocknroller912 Thanks for that information, that's just what I needed to know to stop me doing something stupid. This particular piece came from where I used to work before retiring. It's used for t...
