Let me know when's convenient for you @rocknroller912 - I'm around all weekend if daytime is easier. From your pics, I think I could make something similar, although it would be vertical where yours i...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I can give you a demo if you want to video call me sometime. That would probably be hugely helpful Bill - thank you - I'd certainly like to take up that offer. We could tr...

Are those shaped diamond stones (or similar)? Where did you find them @Russ?

Rather than using screws for the neck/body, I'm going to use recessed bolts through the body with captive nuts in the neck. The neck join area is a bit thick, so 5mm off with the router, and then blen...

Something calm for a Sunday

By a strange stroke of luck @Russ - yes it is 😀 One day, I might have the time to program a complete guitar into the machine, press go, and then watch it happen. For now, it's taking most of my ava...

It would have been a lot (*lot*) quicker making this the normal way, but I'm trying to get more comfortable with using the CNC machine. To be fair (to me), the CAD'ing bit is fine. It's just making...

I'd say that the thickness is more to do with the tuners fitting neatly, rather than a strength requirement. I'd add the thicker veneer. Using good old Titebond (if it's good enough to keep the neck ...

Back to my Rough Trade compilations today - it's a bit like listening to Radio6 Music but without the DJ interruptions

Posted by: @russ Posted by: @tv101 finally managed to get hold of the Ed Kuepper (who?) "singles" CD set this week. And it includes this version of the original classic - bonus points for anyone w...

@tyreman - King Crimson had always passed me by before. But that was a musically interesting 8mins & 24seconds. What should I listen to next?

It may well be heresy to post this here, but the PRS SE range is - IMHO - probably the best VFM standard guitar range available. Design, quality of materials, finishing, components, set-ups. I've ...

I finally managed to get hold of the Ed Kuepper (who?) "singles" CD set this week. And it includes this version of the original classic - bonus points for anyone who remembers the original 😉

Great to see a completely new design - and loved the video too. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth quite a few pictures! I used cherry, oiled finish, for one of my f...

Posted by: @deej Still around but mad busy trying to get to retirement ! @TV101 not done anything guitar related for quite a while. I hope all are well? There are similarities in our lives! Don't ...

True @koendb - in a world where I had enough time to make those mistakes, and the knowledge/understanding to learn from them.

I *think* I've settled on a HB in the bridge position, with a standard Tele bridge but cut out for a HB rather than the usual Tele bridge p'up. Mainly because I think that'll give a neater option for ...

Thanks @Rocknroller912 I think I'll probably put any vague ideas of making an acoustic to one side for now. I'm usually happy if I can an electric playing adequately, and that requires a whole lot le...
