Couple of new old CDs arrived here this week. Here's something from the first of them

Indeed. Sad day. 😒

"masking tape and supeglue" ???? What trickery is this? 😉

What sort of waste materials are you thinking about @murtazahashwani? Offcuts of wood, or scrap wood, or recycling materials, or .... what else?

Did the string holes match up? Well, they're 3.175mm diameter and I couldn't get a 3mm drill bit through from front-to-back. 🙁 But, I could get a 2.5mm bit through 😀 So I'll take that as a success...

This is the top getting some CNC attention ... Attachment : 20221127_151412sml.jpg And those are the string-thru holes drilled from the top. Did they match up??? I struggled with getting the...

Been away all week - somewhere called "London". There are lots of people there. So, no workshop time until this afternoon. Are you sitting comfortably? Let's start with a body blank Attachment :...

Probably - or possibly - @Robin. I decided to abort that task, just in case it ended up doing more harm. I'm re-running the simulation at the moment to try to work out why it did what it did. Thus ...

This still needs a bit of sanding to finish off. Attachment : 20221119_153608sml.jpg I'd tweaked the shape slightly before I started. Happier with the re-shaped and smaller lower horn now. ...

I had a bit of a "don't-trust-the-machine" half way through the job. Attachment : 20221119_152543sml.jpg I think, if I'd trust it and let it finish the stage it was on, then the little raised...

And we're off ... Attachment : 20221119_124817sml.jpg (Can you see what it is yet??)

“Hungry like a wolf” .... hmmmmm .... that’s reminding me of something else @russ 😉 And really good to have something so completely new to my ears and so good too @sanjay_pasari - looking forward to...

I bought something similar, many (10+) years ago. I found mine being made and sold by someone out in Asia somewhere, maybe Vietnam or somewhere in that area. It works. I made up a little jig to use w...

BIG congrats @rathius! You now have something in common with every big successful business. Your first customer!

Cheers @Russ. I started out the a standard Tele, and a standard LP DC. Then I thinned the waist and bottom end of the Tele and cut off the upper bout, getting it a bit closer to the DC shape. Lookin...

Following Mark’s course really in the best advice. The *sort* of guitar you build doesn’t really matter so much. The first build is more about learning the process and techniques. Understanding what...

Hi Murtaza and welcome to this friendly little corner of the big WWW. What stage at you at with guitar building?

#thats-not-fair $13 a neck?? That's a steal.

That sounds proper indie-recorded-in-a-garage stuff Russ! OTOH, this is proper mainstream-recorded-in-a-fancy studio stuff I'm still in 1979. There was so much good music then, properly crafted...

Interesting shape, and always good to see something new. How thick is your top? Just wondering whether the drop top would put a lot - too much? - stress on the curved line. If I'm remembering Mark's ...
