@david-johnson09 This article on grounding wires is just what I need, cheers!

Posted by: @ @david-johnson09 That is a really cool device, I must invest. Cheers.

@darrenking That is some good advice and a logical sounding approach to soldering. I must become more proficient at soldering, it really is my weak spot.

@david-johnson09 thanks mate. marking out the fretboard is the tricky part

Splendid! What is the scale length?

@markbailey Hey Mark, thanks mate. I wanted a 24 fret Tele, but still keep all the standard dimensions, especially the neck. The Low E is standard 25.5" scale length, the high E is 24.0" scale length

Hey Roel - Welcome and congrats on the guitar! Outstanding work for your first build! I'm sure the others will agree and might have some q's for you - Let me be the first: What scale lengths did you d...

I would say it's a bad idea because the zero fret is under string pressure all the time and is bound to wear faster than the other frets. Ive repaired lots of guitars with zero frets and also think th...

the zero fret does not need to be bigger than the other frets, if you think about it, if a bigger fret was needed then the first fret would need to be bigger than the second fret, the second fret woul...

So a couple of years ago I decided to try and make a 12-string myself. This is beautiful @marcel, I have thoughts of making a 12 string one day. You are inspiring me.

Can I be your friend @marcel. I’m 55 in a couple of years and you give out such lovely presents ? Another stunning example of your work..

He certainly was! The first coat was a sealer, the others a satin finish.

@marcel Yep, great little video. It does go through me a bit because it have got a bit of tendinitis in my left arm because of holding guitars up and out whilst spraying. I’m going to build a guitar h...

Apart from his fabulous skills he was a very nice man. Last time I saw him was when he visited Amsterdam and we spent a nice afternoon chatting about all good and bad things in life. Shortly after tha...

Great build @pinneradam and nice to be a reason for you to remember to post. The Bailey workshop Courses are some of the best experiences I’ve had, not just the build but the company of other like min...

@tv1010101 I can feel another joke thread coming on... Come to think of it, didn't we do drummers not long ago?!

That was me. @marcel Yeah but you can now build awesome guitars and basses. How many of your old school friends can do that?

@marcel I was the goalkeeper too. Iv'e been trying to learn to play guitar for over 50 years, maybe I should try bass.

Being a bass player I've made several basses at home @marcel I think you are the best bass guitar maker here amongst us and this build just proves it. This week you have inspired me to plan a few mor...

@tv1010101 Hey Marcel, Basses are fine, just don't go and tell that you also play drums!! ? ?
