Though that failure might have been due to the extra clamping pressure, rather than the normal stresses that a finished body would have to withstand?

What are you doing on here? Get back in the shed and start number 2! 🤣 Guitar looks good, weights fine. Anything lighter than a les paul is fine lol I started at the beginning of the whol...

Hi Everyone, Must say I’m as proud as punch today having finished my first attempt at building an electric guitar from scratch. Thanks to Mark’s fantastic course, I’m now the proud owner of a guitar t...

@tyreman what category did you do? I did the community but finished about 3 guitars ago lol Good job on the build, is there a sound demo coming up?

@tyreman. 👌Nice. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

@tyreman Fantastic build. Top marks to you. 🤘😁🤘

@tyreman Congrats! Turned out very well. 👍 Did you get the balance right with both weight relief and 12 tuners?

If you've got the time, money and wood @tyreman then go for it. It's all about learning and trying things out. For the proportions, you could be right in trying it with the longer strat style body. &...

@tyreman I like the idea of a straight string pull, thats what I try to do with the six string headstock design that I use. But, I do agree with the other guys that it looks out of proportion.

@tyreman That is wild and cool. My only issue with it is a practical one, I think it will be top (head) heavy when playing. Unless you have some counter weight at the back of the body, I feel the head...

I like the first one better. I think the second headstock looks a bit too long compared to the body. Or maybe the perspective makes it look that way.

The camera angle probably exaggerates it further, but the headstock now looks very big (long) compared to the size of the body. I realise that it's always difficult to get 12 strings on to a headstoc...

@koendb It looks truly amazing, I wonder what it sounds like. 😉

@russ these are actually real gut frets, the strings themselves are Nylgut , but the frets need to be real gut. I believe because nylon is too stretchy. It sounds surprisingly loud for such a small in...

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...

@koendb It’s stunning work, I’m so impressed. It’s definitely a whole different ball game to making electric guitars. Sure a lot of fundamental skills are the same but the tools and skill set required...

@tyreman Superb! A lovely build and inspiration for the rest of us. Proud of you man! ✊
