It seems to be priced at $=£, which considering that's an inc VAT price makes it about 16% more expensive than the US.Not unreasonable if they're ship...

@darrenkingGenius!

@mattbeelsEasily solved with a couple of catalogues and a drink.

@mattbeels, yes, but according to boo the tools are so much cheaper that you'll be saving money every time you buy one, so you'll feel bad once but go...

@darrenkingOf course no solution is perfect for everyone.It doesn't seem to me that this would require a huge amount of clamping force, since there's ...

I don't know quite what it is about the explorer, but it's probably my favourite "radical" guitar shape.It's "wrong" for a guitar (says the guy who pl...

@booYou say a "big compressor", but if someone didn't have room/budget for the biggest, what would you say would do the job for most people? i.e. enou...

@darrenkingThanks for the info.That works, though if I was designing for myself I might have made the base a smidgin bigger than the rails so I could ...

One of the most surprisingly (to me) effective colours I've seen on mahogany was when Ben Crowe dyed the back of his cyberpunk guitar black. With an o...

drill bits for wood?These are lovely. Yes they're expensive, but I'm not sorry I spent the money.

Is that headstock intended to double as a heckler jabbing device or is it just to stop the singer cutting your solo short?(Both reasonable uses in my ...

@koendbIf you're familiar with Dave Kilminster, you'll know that if it was physically possible to play, he'll have done it (and most probably if it wa...

@jamesbissetJust speculating here, but perhaps it isn't so much a myth as an outdated requirement.Modern wood glues are incredible, you just don't nee...

I think it's telling that machinists who work in Imperial (i.e. mostly Americans and old school British) work in thousands (or ten thousandths) of an ...

@mattbeelsI wasn't until now, looks interesting

@mattbeelsYou say extreme, I say firm, but fair.22 Is forgivable on the basis that some people just want the tone of the pickup in that 24th fret posi...
