Count me in @Tv1010101

Nice set of pics Tony! Sweet memories........ I also remember that we consumed a rather large amount of ale.... The Tele is still going strong! In the twelve years of its life I remember only tweakin...

These are my new Iron Gear Metal Machine humbuckers ?????????????? Attachment : 43226072-3DD9-41F7-A837-35990D555B97.jpeg Attachment : 61783DDC-ACDB-4AD2-8A16-AFC5BE6DEF4F.jpeg

I would try the Iron Gear Alchemist single coil P90 in humbucker format for the neck pickup and put a standard Rolling Mill in the bridge (not the overwound version). It probably was me that has menti...

@tv1010101 The bottom one is smaller, there's a few reasons why. I originally hadn't intended to have f holes at all. The top one is there and is so large to disguise the three attempts I had pluggin...

Worth watching stuff on YouTube to get some tips on winding - also on how to take what you have wound and make it into a pickup. I haven’t found much to explain how number of turns of wire, strength...

Iv'e started on the cap for my under the caravan scrapwood guitar. I'd tried unsuccessfully to disguise the black stained nail holes. So with a bit of rethinking and strategic positioning I can remove...

I'm having my own personal Newport Folk Festival moment, bought about by walking past a lump of 40mm thick Khaya every day for the last 4 months! Time to go electric! I found a plank of Claro walnut ...

I’ve heard Cherry is a good tone wood... A bit on the heavy side but I think it would make great guitars. When it’s moisture ready chuck come my way and I’ll bring test it out for you @petersoyanov ?

Never done one but I have played an old guitar with one on. The biggest issue for me is that the zero fret wears and gets a groove where you get a pinging sound especially bending nearer the nut. You...

@tv1010101 Oh I’m pleased that I am inspiring people, that makes me feel good, thank you. You really should get into making your own necks, it’s a great achievement and not really that difficult. Go f...

I still get a buzz when carving a neck (only done 4 so far....) - almost didn't believe it first time when over a few minutes it went from 3 facets to a smooth curve. My Firebird neck is a bit chunki...

I love carving my own necks...very satisfying. It’s also good to experiment on different styles and “chunkyness”..

Great photo diary @tv1010101 Billy will be missed - he did stunning satin finishes on my two builds at the shop. It’s good to here Lewis is filling those big shoes of his..

Lewis did a cracking job on my Tele last year!

Hey TV!!!! We were in the same group! That's me next to Mark with the thinline Tele!!! I recognised that amazique top in a second....... Boy, did we have a great time...... Looking somewhat thinner i...

@tv1010101 I've just been reading about inkjet waterslide transfers. Someone had made woodgrain effect transfers, I think it was for a model railway wagon. How about taking a photo of the cavity area...

@simon1138 Also, if you get through to the end of a build without catastrophe, you end up with a decent guitar to play. Have a go! Glue together some bits of 4x2 or 6x2 or anything you have and then ...

Starla, A build for my childhood friend who is fond of stars. I got the idea from a 1960 Epiphone Century thinline Semi Hollow with a single P-90 by the neck tone and volume. I tried to get it as t...

Hi Yes, I have seen Chestnut on Guitars, dulcimer sand ukekeles. They tend to have wormy holes which is part of the charm. You can play with epoxy resin to fill it in. Looks like you got yourself ...
