Happy to use that on the fretboard, but worried that it might get a bit too Lemon-y if I use it on the neck as well?

Sounds good to me 👍 Looks like it plays nicely too!

Wise words @koendb

To complete this thread ... I found the spare top E string, and spent a day or two (on and off) tweaking the set-up, adjusting the truss rod as the nut settled, fine-tuning the intonation (with a tu...

Any hints and tips? What's the best finish to use on a solid Ebony neck? It's beautifully smooth, with some nice grain pattern to it, so I'm thinking just to oil it, but any other thoughts, or do / d...

Or the next Hendrix, Blackmore or Clapton could abandon guitar playing before they properly got started because they didn't like this homemade old guitar they were given ... 😆 😆

Beautiful piece of wood there, and the finishing certainly does it justice. And great to see an "F-hole" that doesn't look like it's come from an seventeenth century violin 😉 (I much prefer...

We *definitely* like videos 👍 👍

Ahhhh - I’ve never used anything other than fairly plain woods for necks, so never had that experience (thankfully!).

@dave - apologies, I should also have said “welcome to the forum”! And show us what you’ve been building, we all like to see pics of others’ builds!

There a some decent sellers on eBay, though their prices aren’t always massively cheaper than the non-eBay specialists (David Dyke / Timberline). I’ve bought from feelgoodwood in the past; timber &...

It’s a valid thought @russ and one I had had myself - ie giving them away to an organisation like that. But, I’d then spend another £300+ on replacement parts for the next build rather than recyclin...

@robin … Steve’s post reminds me … how’s your build going?? 😆

I have reached the point where I have enough guitars. I know, I know, guitarists should never admit to having "enough" guitars, but I've said it now! I could even make a case for having too many - ss...

Not a situation I've ever encountered, so this is opinion rather than experience ... I don't think the setting time is really a factor. Titebond Original will give you enough time to make sure ever...

Congratulations @igeorgebot! That shape looks vaguely familiar ... 😉 How are they to play - any differences other than the pickups? Did you build both in parallel, or did one follow the othe...

Damn that pesky @tv101 - he just can't leave well alone. Good to see you back Steve, and to see you getting back in the workshop. Time to cut off the heel overhang: 20 seconds Time to set up the d...

Here's me-the-cynic ... Those are - mostly - relative advantages, ie improves, better, lighter, increases, more. So the question is relative to what? TBH, I've never had a problem with fret sprou...

Looking forward to seeing what you build Brian. If you follow the course, you really can’t go too far wrong.👍 (Your chosen username will make it tricky for people to tag you in posts)

Can't say much to that post @darrenking 🙁 Good to see you posting, but not so good to read the post. I guess that many of us are getting to the age when parents are going to be leaving our lives, and ...
