Work faster and harder @robin ... soon build up a bit of a sweat. I now feel like a real wuss. I’ve got an oil filled rad in my workshop, just set ...
Nice re-working of that box room into a useful space @boo. Good space creation! But, where’s the music source? Every workshop needs a radio, or on...
@Boo - I used the ferrule block in a recent build, but - being a cheapskate - made my own routing templates!!
That's an interesting song on so many levels. The way that the original song originated, and has since evolved into something "owned" by Cuba. And...
I've used that bridge on a build. Nice and solid, good quality. Not cheap, but worth the extra ££s. On the ££s topic - my first experience of ...
Those guys are good. The guitar parts business is a sideline to their main business - because they guy who runs the main business is a guitarist! A...
@Boo - Impressed that you can remember the specific year! I'm either too old with failing memory, or I (used to) buy too many guitars. OK. Even m...
@Russ - I did own a Fender, once. I had a Jazzmaster for about 3 days - took it as a part-trade for something I wanted to sell, and then sold it on r...

You drew it out and posted the pics as I was replying!
I *believe* that string spacing at the bridge is usually expected to be ; traditional Gibson = 50mm traditional Fender = 52mm The difference a...
PS, Tony here!
Good to "meet" you Paul @peebee 🙂 Over the last 10+ years, I've built quite a few electrics ... and the thought of making an acoustic *still* s...
Thanks for posting @peter-johnson. As I was watching the review video, I thought "yeah, but this is just one guy's experience". Then I read the com...
@boo I’d just about managed to persuade myself that £400 wasn’t *too* bad given all the other jobs that I could use the sander for. Obviously, I pr...
Welcome @peter-Johnson. You’ve definitely found the right place if you’re planning on doing some complete builds. There is a huge spread and depth ...
That is definitely pretty straight!! Very functional too - the headstock is as big as it needs to be, and no bigger. That appeals to my efficiency ...
