@stephen perhaps with a ready-made neck - making a neck still looks intimidating! Making your own guitar neck for the first time is a dauntin...
Hi @stephen and a welcome from me in SCO to the group. Post us some photos of what you've done so far. Just one question: Where and what is “NI”? ...
That looks really good @ koendb, well done.
It's looking good @tv101 , and learning a new set of skills, well done.
Hi @riccardo, you're not being a fool at all. The tracing method works for symmetrical shapes like humbuckers but not for the headstock. You're correc...
@Rocknroller912 Thanks for the link, I've just ordered my tin of Rustins G Shield, £9.48 including delivery is a good price from NWG. I looked at R...
@koendb Another vote for zebras. What kind of finish are you going to put on it ?
, while sanding down the filler I caught the edges too much and took all the colour off them. Couldn’t get it back the same as the rest so literally n...
@boo If you have already sanded it with 400, sand those scratches out with 600 at least and apply more clear coats. . I think 400 is a bit too c...

@Rocknroller912 "The Lurker" would've been a good name, but I've already made the decals for it. I've really stretched my imagination with this one...
Thanks @Rocknroller912, I haven't really been away, just been lurking in the background with nothing useful to contribute.
Hi there @riccardo , welcome to the group. I don't think you need to be particularly talented with carpentry, just follow Mark's instructions and befo...
After what seems like an eternity sealing and sanding with sand'n'seal, I'm happy with the smooth surface. Now I've got four coats of lacquer on and p...
@koendb but it would have looked a bit nicer if that one came in a bit more from the center. You could plug the hole and drill again where you...
@poco7 Hi from sunny Scotland, that's an epic post there and a lot to answer. So I'll make a start and I'm sure the rest of the gang will join in. ...
@boo I'm glad it got to you. I've got no idea where I plucked the wrong address from. I wonder who's address that is then.
