I’d say 60s or (very) early 70s. There were a multitude of similar things produced in that era, under various different brands, mostly cheap and not hugely well made. It was really the period in whi...

I've seen a video of someone making these - must have been one of the YT woodworking channels that I wander into (very) occasionally. Looked simple enough to make, though it was a US channel (IIRC), a...

Can I glue a bit on to thicken it at the heel for a set neck I'm pretty sure that I've seen commercial builds done exactly like that, so I don't see why it would be a problem.

I’m curious as to how the softwood body affects the sound of the guitar. Traditional teaching would suggest that it may not be that great but who cares? @darrenking As long as you use the right sort ...

I’ve looked at those a couple of times and wondered about using one on a build. You’ve got me wondering again now!
