@russ @bpower @markbailey @rocknroller912 OK, that settles that then. Thanks for the input. I’ll just install some black side dots as all of tha...
I’m going to ask you all for opinions for this fretboard. I hope you will be kind enough to answer. Thanks in advance. This neck has a pale moon ebo...
@clinton That’s another superb build and such a nice finish on it. That’s a nice shine I see on that body. 🙌
@nossair It depends on what kind of guitar. If it’s a standard guitar I would say it’s personal preference. For me, if it’s got an angled headstock, I...
@tv101 That would cost you money. 😆

More snagging work. I’m using a trem with a bigger block so one of the springs was seriously catching on one side of the spring cavity (I forgot to ta...
@clinton By the way, when sanding sanding sealer, you don’t have to wet sand, I sand dry most of the time. It’s a product that sands very easily so us...
@clinton Nice one sir, you did it. I really like Ash, it’s a great wood to work with, even though it takes a little more work to fill the grain etc. S...
