@nsj That’s good to know, thanks for the info. 👍

@nsj He is an amalgamation of all of them. @tv101

@boo Thanks mate, I'm using the gotoh floyds. Get them from axesrus for a cracking price! Brilliant units, hold tune great and a joy to use.

@tv101 which one are you? 🤣 🤣

@robin yeh I did wonder, bit more room to play on a solid body. But, I think just rounding off the hard edges etc will look spot on.

@nsj Not sure on the bridge, being a hollow body means less to work with I'd imagine. Maybe if the recess was a particular shape or that, or maybe even just a touch larger then the edges rounded off...

@boo would you like my address to send a barrel to? 🤣

@boo I’ve got four huge whisky barrels here that I don’t know what to do with yet but I was obviously considering attempting a guitar build of some kind. It doesn’t sound like it will be much fun th...

@robin maybe a bit of an arse to work with some of the nicer woods are in my experience, looks really nice though Not sure on the bridge, being a hollow body means less to work with I'd imagine. May...

@robin This is s cool project, it’s looking superb. The thing with the bridge is fine, it’s something I’ve seen before and doesn’t take anything away from the build. I’ve got four huge whisky barrels...

@nsj Yes, it's oak and mahogany. The oak was a whisky barrel top, horrible to work with, I'll not be doing again. I think the sunken bridge looks not too bad, what would you suggest to make it look i...

@robin Is that an oak top with mahogany back? Regarding the bridge, I've seen people make a feature of it so it looks like you sank it on purpose. Might be something to consider. Ps the "F holes"...

Fast forward to now. Something went wrong when I was fitting the neck/body joint. I got a good clean joint but I must have altered the neck angle and height while I was doing it. So I've had to sink t...

Have accidentally deleted my entire "Robin's build #003" post, I thought I just resume from where I was. Maybe a short recap first. This is where it started. Attachment : 20210630_195020.jpg ...

@pompei Welcome. I think you nailed it in the quote below. 😉 But at least guitars are fun to build and work on.

@pompei Welcome to you and have fun modifying, that’s how I started. 👍

Welcome @brie I joined as a member about a year ago and have built a couple of electric guitars with the help of the course and great answers in this forum. I am sure you will enjoy the experience.

@brie Welcome Brian, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Building guitars from scratch will increase your addiction, be careful it doesn’t bankrupt you. 😆 Seriously though, just h...

I was just wondering what you all use to sand your work. What sander and sand paper do you use? I’m not sure we have ever done any kind of comparison and rating of tools, materials and sundries before...

Mirka, the stuff in our dreams... 🙂 Someday, someday I will get one.
