This wouldn't be important if I was making a double cutaway or no cutaway - it’s only significant if the guitar is not symmetrical across the centrel...

It was at the point where we decided to use the mould as a jig, that I realised I’d made the most profound, blindingly obvious mistake right at the ve...

Finally getting down to the actual building of this guitar! Unlike solid sides, these laminations have rough, uneven edges and are not yet cut to si...

I never thought I’d say this, but - Happy Days 🙂

@nsj Because my sides aren’t profiled yet (and squint after the fingerboard mishap) I measured the facets 14.66mm out from the new centerline and then...

Thanks for the recommendations and encouragement folks. I’ve decided to go on with the neck as it is. This is my first ever full build and it’s effect...

If I could rescue the neck and get a replacement fingerboard that might be the way forward. If I don’t, I still have to clean up the fingerboard edge ...

I used Titebond Original. Thing is, technically, the only thing that’s going to be squint is the tuner holes. The neck hasn’t been profiled and the...

I asked GPTChat too: If you've glued your guitar fingerboard to the neck, and it's misaligned, there are a few things you can try t...

Seriously disappointed. The body is plywood. For a tenner I would have expected two piece alder at the very least, and preferably mahogany. Ah well,...

That’ll do nicely. 🙂

The jack socket had a misaligned nut forced on. And the humbucker measures around 14.5k, which seems a little unnecessary. No idea what the woods are,...

@rocknroller912 I’ve put in some more insulation in the workshop and currently fitting surgical operation room style lighting. Once that’s done, Ill g...

Don’t look at me mate. Not unless you need an invisible fillet down a bump in the middle.

I’m using three layers of knife-cut veneer and one sawn veneer for the face, all made by joining two pieces. Of the three knife-cut veneers, the secon...

@rocknroller912 Another takeaway from this project is that two pack urea-formaldehyde resin is nothing like Titebond or other PVA based glues. It...

Having (relatively) successfully made two sides, a front and a back, I carted the whole lot home to rest in this old, cold, damp house. Mr Bailey wa...

Exactly what I was beginning to think. However, the advantage of the concave mould is twofold: Darren (Bagpress) said it was better that way You ...
