Posted by: @wolframmalukker 17" scale-would be considered a "tenor" uke Alright! I used a 16" on mine 🙂 It took me a bit of experimenting to find a good combination of string gauges.

@koendb Yes and I made the body width a bit too wide so the top only just fitted

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Don’t think I would build a kit again it’s harder than starting from scratch as the parts are pre cut for assembly in a factory jig and have to be lined up perfectly for gl...

@jozefbehr i forgot to say that it’s a Martin kit guitar I got when I visited the factory years ago so can’t take all the credit. Still a fair bit to do though. The back wasn’t joined and was 1mm too...

@koendb Yes I used what was free at the time but not the greatest to work with. I will also have to varnish the inside as the chipboard made some small scratches on the wood which need sanding.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Made it from an old bit of kitchen worktop. Awesome 🙂 Gonna make mine out of multiplex as that is what I have available

@koendb Got the back on as well now but I need to modify the mold a bit as it’s too wide in some places. The rubber bands catch on the edge and don’t put enough pressure on the guitar. Made it from a...

Woow looks great..

@russ I forgot but I haven’t glued the back on yet so there is still time

Have you written a wee message on the inside before you glue it @rocknroller912? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Hi, question that hopefully someone knows the proper way. So, I intend to top coat with wipe on poly diluted with mineral spirits. 4-5 coats with wet sanding in between. Pretty standard right? Howe...

Posted by: @clinton My question is, if I am to use a wipe on poly without sanding sealing, wouldn’t it smear the dye even if the dye has been dried out? I know sanding sealer would lock it in but isn...

@clinton Not all sanding sealers are cellulose based. Acrylic such as Chesnut brand is compatible with most things. Not sure if it’s available where you live. Probably would not use it on an acoustic ...
