I shall do it tomorrow. I'd do it now, but my digital calipers are out in my workshop, and it's wet and windy and dark outside now, and I'm pretty s...
Great video Clinton, and a great build. Your workshop looks very clean. And I spotted the clamp trick too ... that always impresses the ladies. 😉
I’m guessing here, but ... I’m guessing that acoustic truss rods are shorter because there’s less length of exposed neck (ie before it joins the b...
Good to see @boo. 🙂
Length?* I don’t know which truss rod Mark uses in the acoustic course, but they’re normally shorter in acoustics compared to electrics. ...
I think Mark does know someone who’s made them previously, but the guy doesn’t seem to be around anymore? With the parts sourced, it would be re...
Ahhhhh - that *would* make more sense! I was trying to work out how you'd managed to incorporate the drill power, and keep it turning slowly enough!!
Brilliant work. I love the inventiveness of bass builders. For some reason it seems to be more acceptable to have new/different designs on basses t...
Hi Reece Have you got a link to the wiring diagram for the system you’re using?
I’ve got a similar DIY radius-er. If you have one of the discs mounted in a slot, rather than a hole, you can reposition it so that you can bend dif...
I'm guessing here ... @frank1985 - do you mean that you'd drill a hole in the blank, at the end of the truss rod slot, down to the depth that the tr...
I am getting *very* tempted ... And you’re not helping 😆
Would it be relevant, or help, @darrenking, if I tried to manoeuvre my digital callipers into the f-holes of my Yam SA-700 335 alike, and measured the...
That would be silly @Marcel, not to mention a huge waste. Send them to me, and I’ll send back some seeds, a trowel, and a bag of compost...
Whatever you say, and however critical you are, about your guitar building experiences - that pic above proves that you’ve successfully built somethin...
I've just declined a contract extension offer @darrenking! Work made me miss the second half of Weds' live stream, and there *are* limits to what ...
Get the order in quick @e-den-hertog - you don't know what shipping will be like once Europe cuts itself free from the UK at the end of the year ...
I was offering a trade @darrenking - thought you wanted some kindling. I've got some very nice twigs to trade. I'd not normally consider swapping...
I find axetec stuff to be surprisingly good @e-den-hertog I've recently gone back to their pickups because (a) I'd never had a problem with the soun...
