@brie, sometimes it can be enough just to sink the top of the bridge posts into the body. Most posts have a wider bit that sits on top of the body. Maybe only 2-3mm thick, but than can be 2-3mm too ...

Some nice grain pattern on that top 👍 You realise that you're making these quicker than some "professional" guitar builders???

Hope you've kept that ... in years to come, could be worth a fortune to collectors 😆

You have some handy mates up there @nsj!

I think the general consensus is that the neck angle is set for an acoustic bridge, and therefore is too shallow for the resonator. You've therefore got the option of fixing the root cause (resetting ...

Congratulations! This has proved to be a more troublesome task than I’d anticipated. Watching Darren’s videos, it all seemed fairly straightforward and error-proof. But I guess experts make things l...

Come on Jim, this is serious, not one of your songs … 🤣 🤣

That looks good enough to me! 👍 I've never really found a stain colour that works really well on mahogany-type wood - plain finishes are good.

I've used the Crimson stains on numerous builds. I've found them really easy to use, and reliable - in that they produce the colour that they should produce (as long as the wood is prepared properly...

I'm sure I've seen that exact guitar somewhere before .... .... ..... ...... ahhhh, yes, it's in that case 10ft behind my shoulder 😆 😆 (Mark built it for me, probably 12+ years ag...

Nice result, looks very neat & tidy.

Can't be sure from looking at the angle of the photos, but it looks like the back of the headstock needs the add-on rather than the front?

Ask away - you'll get heaps of answers here. Some of them may even be right ... 😆 😆

Wow! You don't hang around once you get started! It's looking really good 👍
