are you sure you wouldn't prefer to stain it blue? @jonhodgson 🤣🤣🤣🤣💙

Got some spare (blue) stain??? Not so much, I've only enough powder to make a gallon or so of stain according to the package.

Mark’s Mirka is electrically powered - he used to use air power but he has one of the older Mirkas with an external power supply - see him sanding Roland’s guitar. My Mirka hasn’t done much work and i...

Obvs, when it comes to re-painting it, I'm going to talk to @Boo, and try out some metallic paint colours ... @tv101 are you sure you wouldn't prefer to stain it blue?

Hi Boo, Thanks for the glowing review and for taking the time to post the video. It was really great and I'm pleased that you found the jig easy to use and robust enough for the job. I like the occasi...

@tv101 Yup that too. I got 5 of them. One for thicknessing, with a big baseplate permanantly attached. A small palm for binding. A big one for excessive material removal, I do a lot chambering hollow ...

Never used a router before starting my first build (so no idea how it compares to others) but this Erbauer has been pretty good value for money so far. The only niggle I've come across is that the pl...

I have several routers but the one I use most is my (second hand) Dewalt DW621 - same model Mark uses - that claims to be 2hp so 1875 Watts - so somewhere between - I have my extended base on a cheapl...

Great feedback guys, so we’ll go with what we have available and I am sure that it will result in some fantastic guitars. Darrin, Mr Fabitrabbit, has already provided some slightly modified files for ...

I agree. I just want to try the process. 40 years ago I had an epiphone casino guitar that had major feedback problems but was great to play. If I could make something approaching that I would be happ...

I've never even held a 335 so would have nothing to compare it with. Having watched the Gibson videos now, I like the idea of building a hollow body archtop. I think it would be a huge challenge to me...

I agree with Les (Otters). I want to build an arch top, not a 335. But the 335 construction, and in particular the neck join, really interests me. It looks like more like a set-neck than a traditional...

Hi Darren, I’m probably completely overthinking the issues here, but I’m trying to work out how to fit a 335 style laminated guitar body into a Bailey style workflow. For the avoidance of doubt, I don...

Bugger, png with a transparent background isn’t a lot of use, and I can’t edit the post so I’ll add this addendum: Attachment : 335 body contours v5 left.jpg

Hi James, I’ll keep this brief. Shit! I don’t know! Regards Darren

Hi James,In all seriousness, some of this is above my pay grade but I’ll have a go!. Whilst I may have 32 years of Adobe Illustrator experience, 20+ years of vacuum laminating and 15 years of CNC rout...

Simples! We just need a guitarmaking.co.uk template set!

YES! @darrenking Looks like you cracked it 😀 !!?

Good morning 335 fans! Just a quick question. I have a drawing that shows the thickness of the laminated front and back as being almost 6mm thick (1/16" maple + 1/10" poplar + 1/16" maple). This sound...
