It would be interest on peoples thought on what makes the best tone. Agree with what TV said. When plugged in it comes down to your fingers, pickups, and amp. Got an ex band mate who used both solid ...

Would carving the centre block make a lot (any discernible) difference to the sound? It will help take some weight out, but other than that ... Who knows @TV101 once you crank it up through an amp a...

I do agree @TV101 but the guitar also has there own unique tone..certain players use the same type of guitar for that reason. Tele’s are twangy etc...

@deej my centerblock is flat but hollowed out in the core in certain areas. The guitar is really light. Both carve top and carve back is also carved internally.

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I've really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I'm stupidly proud of it a...

@cheesewhisk Looking good. My favourite bit of neck carving is the volute.

Any advice on the volute?

My favourite song today (not really mainstream music):

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... it's a wee bit different from their usual stuff but I like it. 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Has anyone else been getting links to these little gems! Toyah's actually quite conservatively dressed in this one! For a reportedly very serious musician RF seems to have been having an awful lot of ...

@darrenking and @tv101 Here is my idea for my fix. Darren I think that if I could just get out a routing template and repair block, this wouldn’t take long at all so I would seriously look into it.

Well @tv101 at least that idiot did some cool inlays!

Now, lets get it right this time ... @tv101 Oh yeah, nice repair TV, well done. Now that had to be precise or it wouldn’t have worked. What I am proposing will be less accurate and gaps filled with e...

@darrenking I’ve been wanting to do more stuff with routing templates and repair blocks, even where a repair isn’t needed. I was saving this idea for a later build but as the subject has come up, I’ll...

Looks great so far @cheesewhisk, have fun shaping the volute!

Looking good @cheesewhisk! 👍

Cheers @russ that seems to be the trick, keeping at it.

You're getting there @cheesewhisk. Keep at it. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

I’m going to block it and reroute it Hi @boo, I don't think you need worry about the strength of an end grain block going in there, as you said the stress is being exerted forward of the repair. If y...
