My favourite song for today. 🤘
Yup, you said it dude @koendb Yep, it’s going to make a comeback though, have you heard? ✊
The guy sent you the offcut as well as the guitar? Did he know that there was a problem with the body that was going to need fixing?? @tv101 No,...
@rocknroller912 I used a chunk of the off cut from the guitar blank. It’s 40mm thick so I drew the dimensions out on the wood and cut that much off. I...

@tv101 It’s funny you should ask that. I did think of it and contacted him to check, he said no it should be a standard 25.5” scale length. Thanks for...
@cheesewhisk Looking good. My favourite bit of neck carving is the volute.
