@boo making guitars from that will be a "barrel" of fun! I had to 🤣

Just waiting on strings now, hopefully turn up tomorrow

I've either clamped the body to my drill press table, did the 12mm hole then a bowl and dish to make a recess. The most recent I went straight in with...

I sanded the whole guitar back and applied more thinned down polyurethane, couple of coats. Now I'll wait a day or two and apply the microcrystaline w...

@boo my mate can play like that, he's really annoying lol

Well I used the superglue and masking tape method again, this time to hold the neck into the body while I routered the neck pickup cavity. Done the br...

@timc Tbh I don't see why not, you're not needing to self tap, using it more like a bolt as it were. And yeh, comfort carve for sure. I do it to a...

Got sorting the neck more or less done today, fretboard radiused, neck carved including volute, headstock shaped and tuner holes drilled.
