@cheesewhisk - it really depends on how noisy (in terms of electrical interference) an environment the player is going to be playing in. It's a nice touch, a good sign of "I'm a proper guitar builder"...

@Russ - I needed to get a 1/2" bit once when I was using imperial sized bridge posts. There was no way that a 12.5mm hole was going to be big enough, and the posts just fell out of a 13mm hole (drille...

Stick a bit of polyfilla in that, and job's a good 'un. (tip courtesy of Bob Bodge the Builder)

My favourite tune, can’t wait to get back playing this in the pub. Don’t tell tv101 there’s a banjo at the back. I saw a harp too though @rocknroller912 - if you've got a harp on stage, no-ones watch...

Agreed with the only-way-to-compare comment. But Iron Gear are generally well rated. Axetec is/own the Iron Gear brand name, so it's the only place you can buy those pickups. They also do a range of...

I don’t feel offended people never want to chat to me 😆 There are some upsides @rocknroller912 - at least you don't have to deal with @mattbeels

Thanks for the update @rocknroller912. Looks like its Farnell have it too;

Ahh @tv101. I've just realised that you were commenting on @rocknroller912...... anyway thanks for the good advice. D'oh - sorry guys! I'm too used to "chatting" to @Russ on this thread and tagged...

V Quick comments on hardware ... I didn't like the Wilkinson wrapover bridge initially - but I think that's because I'd bought some knock-off Chilkinson version from eBay. Get the bona fide Wilkinson...

usual utube adverts No such thing @Russ - adblock / uBlockOrigin.

Recently, I've been listening to Classic FM in the mornings ... which is OK until I get fed up of the same 4 ads that they play repeatedly!

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment........ Just Chillin' Another one of your choices @Russ which is also to be found in my CD cupboards!

Saw dust and wood glue has saved a few builds for me!! Re rasps/surforms, I've got one of these; and one of these; Either are great for bulk removal. I also like the microplanes which are available ...

Did you put a handle on the other side of the bearings? I made something similar a long time ago (though using door rollers rather than skateboard bearings), but I never found anything suitable to use...

Posted by: @tej I’d plan to have a belly carve, elbow carve and at least the bottom cut away carved. Assuming that you're making a solid body with no cap, then those carves shouldn't be difficult to...

And what about dimensions? Std pickup cavity +5mm all round? But what about bridge post or trem ’alterations’? What do you all think? @darrenking I think the concept is great. From my own experience ...

Ten is 30 I bought Ten (CD) in Montreal.

I was very lucky that in primary school it was all imperial, I can't remember that far back @robin!! I can visualise distances more easily/accurately in inches/feet. But I'll use metric for any meas...

Well, at least that idiot did a sweet carve on the top. Who are you calling an "idiot" @mattbeels??? 😆 That build is one that gave me more satisfaction than most others. I had to fix a cock-...
