@mattbeels I re-wired it all in the end as I could isolate the issue, all good now 🙂

So @tej how did it go with them Hot Slags?

@rocknroller912 Yes they were a set of Hot Slags from Iron Gear, classy!

@tej Are the pick ups a matched set or did you buy them separate from different brands. It might be that the impedance on both is different.

@koendb I think I did check them when I got them but I can’t find a note of the rest so I’ll check that for sure. @robin if the resistance is fine I’ll do that however I read a few articles where peop...

@tej Some sound advice from @robin Maybe also a good idea to measure the DC resistance on that neck pickup. Could be a defect in the pickup too

Annoyingly the neck pickup is really low output, it’s not as hot as the bridge one anyway but the drop in volume between the too is far too significant. So if anyone can suggest a sound approach to di...

Hi, so having built the guitar I didn’t check both pickups before screwing everything down and stringing up etc. Annoyingly the neck pickup is really low output, it’s not as hot as the bridge one anyw...

I love ash for guitar bodies @tej but personally I wouldn’t consider using it for a neck. However I’m interested to see how it goes for you, good luck!

@boo I learned on a course in Lincolnshire in about 2003 and think I still have the notes, including how to make a bow string with a spliced loop from wax thread. UK wood isn’t much good as it’s too f...

@tv101 Oh you spotted it. 🏹🎯🥇💯 😁👍

Hi all, In between guitar projects, I also have a plan to build an electric ukelele. Currently working out the plan, based on a electricherald plan for a Gibson Melody maker. I need to double check th...

@rocknroller912 @mattbeels Looks like we’ve got some competition I'm not planning on making a habit of it. But Joe did mention a mandolin that he thinks is beyond repair, sounds like a challenge to...

@mattbeels Looks like we’ve got some competition

@robin Good repair and I would say it will outlast you and me. I like the way you have made new rivet caps. I still can’t work out how they managed to rivet wood without crushing it. Superglue can be ...

Good job @robin and welcome to the world of Guitar Repair!

@rocknroller912 If the plates are 1.5mm thick then I would put some protection on the soundboard, like thick plastic and lever them off with a chisel. Old adhesive shouldn’t be that strong to resist...

Crazy how that guy removes his respirator immediately after spraying, their extraction must be state of the art and then some!
