Not sure how plausible that is at all but no chance I can afford to use that grade of hardware on every build @tej Yeah it’s not a cheap hobby this if you want decent hardware, there aren’t really an...

Looks great @boo. What's a guide coat and how does it work? 🤔 🙂🎸🎶🙏

I’m really looking to where you are taking us on this build journey @deej As this guitar isn’t having a neck pickup and no scratch plate, I’m using an alternative method to cover the neck joint. Can ...

Great tip there @boo

I keep seeing a Mirka sander in these updates. Enough reminders of the tools that I don't have .... @tv101 Yeah sorry about that. 🤣 Is the "guide coat" to make it easier to see where you've ...

Got the body in primer. I’ll let it settle and cure for a few days and then I’ll start sanding it flat. Attachment : 7DF3B7DB-3838-4B09-8A2B-3301FBDAB1AE.jpeg Attachment : F5B62796-242C-40...

@deej so far it’s gone to the top of the list, now to figure out how to fund it 🙂 I think what I need to do is to get a bridge from a company who also make a cheaper one with the same mounting...

Very kind tv101

Looks Great @likeakite. Love the wood. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@deej Stunning build, great carpentry! Absolutely love the choice of bridge and saddles too, what are they please?

@likeakite Great work did you use ready made plans or draw your own from scratch
