Posted by: @bpower What is the differences/logic for having the zero fret? Does the scale length start from the zero fret or the nut take off like my other guitars? Would the nut be different (ie. nu...

I have a generic question for everyone honestly because I'm curious. I was given a free acoustic guitar today that has been in someones basement for a long time. On a quick look from me it would take...

I must say had done a great job.

Finally, finally COMPLETE!!! This build has been on my mind for over a year. I have always been interested in woodwork. Built arcade cabinets, units and tools for my workshop. I decided I...

@tv101 Thats a good looking guitar. Is that just reflection I'm seeing on the pickups in the last photo or have have you got some strange wiring going on there?

Thank you a lot, this seems to do what I wanted.

@koendb doing the sums is easy enough, but i wanted a visual representation, and I hadn’t found one online. The fretfind2d one looks great though - thank you for the pointer! cheers Steve

@koendb and by the way, I forgot to mention in my reply - that’s a really nice looking, very classic Flying V, I love it!

Thanks @boo, for your many wise words 😀 It certainly is part if the fun to fix the problems that arise as well as to solve challenges - most of my challenges came from my own inadequacies wit...

Posted by: @steveh There have been things that I got wrong first time and had to revisit, as well as things that I‘ve asked myself „What if I did this bit differently next time?“ @steveh Nice one St...

@koendb yeah, they are! My rubyburst was a kit, but I decided that I didn’t like the pickguard, and moved the control cavity from the front of the guitar to the back. Also, the nut had to come off and...

@steveh Really nice job! congrats. Up to the next build. Flying V's are fun! Here's my attempt 🙂 Attachment : IMG_20210528_072723932.jpg

Hey there, everyone! So, the project guitar is finished (for a given value of „finished“ - there are some details to take care of yet). But it´s built and it plays nicely - certainly better than the d...

@steveh go go go! 😎 😀 👍🎸

Posted by: @markbailey @steveh Good call...I think that is the best course of action. Once you have the methods down you will be unstoppable 👍 Hi Mark, So, I finally got round to re-drawin...

Posted by: @tv101 I agree - generally - that sticking a bit of cheap black plastic on the front of a beautifully built and finished guitar is heresy. @tv101 Hey! I like using black plastic for scrat...

Hii , Great stuff, best of luck for your amazing idea..

@steveh Good call...I think that is the best course of action. Once you have the methods down you will be unstoppable 👍

@markbailey Hi Mark, thanks for your comments. To be honest, I wasn't sure about the high fret access. It's prompted a bit of a re-think on my part, and I've decided to follow your designs more closel...

@steveh Ah OK cool... 🤔 Yes, you can do that but you might have to mix and match a bit. It is what I might call a hybrid. I checked your updated drawing - it is not a good design (yet) as the...
