Sorry Michael, I didn't mean to spook you! My wife is from Consett but you've got 10 years on her. Born the day Kennedy got assassinated although I'm ...

Hi Michael, are you native or blow in and, if the former, is it insensitive to ask how old you are? Cheers Darren

Hi @robin, I know what you mean but I think that they upper frets would still be needed purely from a cosmetic point of view. I mean, you wouldn’t wan...

Depends how good you are! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Blackhill, is that Consett? Cheers Darren

@rocknroller912 Thanks for the additional photo. The violin scaling works out at approx 94% for the 3/4 and just under 97% for the 7/8 as opposed to a...

@russ I hadn’t realised! I’ve listed another 50(!) so that should keep you all going for a while! Let me know if there are any other problems. Cheer...

Hi @rocknroller912, Interesting. Does the table extend further down the page to giving the scale lengths? Cheers Darren

Hi @russ, Yes, I believe they are still on my eBay listing. As previously, if you purchase direct from me I will credit Mark and Carol with their ma...

Thanks for the feedback @russ. A bit of digging on the interweb later and it seems that the sizes aren't anything like a direct scaling with 3/4 siz...

Hi @rathius, Nice job! It looks almost exactly like one that a friend of mine had back in the 80’s, same colour, pretty much identical shape, you’ve...

Hi @wayne_f I tend to agree about the angle of the string from the nut to the tuner due to the wide headstock. If there is too much friction on the st...

Hi @koendb It seems like a long time ago that I made these but I don't know if any of these images might give you and idea or two. I made my jigs wi...

@boo So it's going to be mainly left handed guitars now is it just to make sure you benefit from the local market? I wish you the best of luck with yo...

@koendb you’ll never guess what I am making right this very minute!! Yup, ukulele scale templates! It’s taken me a while to get around to it and you d...

How very dare you Rocknroller! But I will forgive the generalisation given that you mention gypsy jazz guitars. All Maccaferri guitars, even the nyl...

Hi Rathaus, You may be surprised at just how little stain maple will absorb but I would advise doing it before you install the frets and probably af...

Hi @lionhound, you are amongst friends, and I, for one, also experience a fair level of discomfort in my hands when doing intricate, intensive hand wo...

Hi @petersoyanov Given that these upper frets are likely to be far less used than those lower down the fret board you might consider removing some o...

Hi @boo Thanks for the mention. Re fretboard species: Goncalo Alves would be my guess. Difficult to be 100% without having it front of me. Where d...
