It's a lot of time that would be wasted though. I'm not suggesting using CF rods in *every* neck, but if you're using a wood or a cut that wisdom says might be more prone to movement, why not do what...

As the man says in the book (which was literally within arm's reach when I read your post!) "my advice is to ignore any codes and test".

So, that's a "maybe" ?? The answer - of course - is just to ignore the tone pots. Never use them ... 😉

You’re most welcome JB 😉

It’s a good idea / way of testing out the impact of the different positions on the sounds, but it’s only going to give a rough approximation, even relatively. You really need a pre-amp in there too to...

I did check out the website @rathius, and it looked pretty dormant. Shame as putting it into a case with a screen seemed like a good idea to simplify the cabling. Guess, on Kickstarter, some you win ...

Just a little disappointed that no-one noticed my choice of music … 😋

JimBee - welcome home Darling, how was your day? MrsJimBee - oh, you know, usual stuff, what about your day JimBee - I've been experimenting with some different positions MrsJimBee - 😯 ὢ...

That must have been quite something to have seen @jamesbisset - quite jealous of you oldies sometimes.

I can't see that they'd hurt - so for the sake of another couple of slots in the neck and a few£ of carbon fibre bar, I see no reason *not* to do it. Of course, you'd have to use the correct, acoustic...

Interesting to re-read this thread. I've got a neck-blank sized piece of Ash, quarter-sawn and not too heavy which I think I might just use on a future neck build. But maybe with some added carbon fi...

That looks like it could be a fun thing @rathius - what do you use it for?

I've had a Raspberry Pi set-up as a media server for a while, but headless and controlled via a browser app on a separate device. Plus it was in a bit of a naff perspex box. But it all worked quite w...

Congratulations grampa @Robin! Wait a couple of years and get the littl'un to sort out that wiring (they have smaller fingers, easier to fish around inside a hollowbody). My first grandchild is just ...

Hang on just a minute ... People sell guitars???

That's an incredible piece of workmanship Koen, proper old-school skills, and it looks like a beautiful instrument at the end of it. You'll have fun playing that in the local bars ... 😉 Big, BIG WOW...

That is the correct opinion @koendb 😆

Interesting to watch the body finish evolve in (sort of) real time through the various stages. Request echo'd! Particularly the final coats that add the shine (what's in that tin?).

Wow @mikeyrjiom - stunning looking work. As Koen says, tell us some more about it and your builld approach. 8 (nearly 9!) acoustic builds in that period of time is impressive too, what are you doing ...

That must have been the days that I wasn't there @jamesbisset?
