25.01.2022 At the end of the day this joint will make or break your build. I use a traditional French dovetail and spend a lot of time ensuring it pulls up tight, seamless... and pitched at the correct angles. It's also self supporting and only a little glue is used to prevent it from being accidentally popped out. I've use a shim over the body this time so I can pitch the fretboard parallel to the top of the guitar. See more

19.01.2022 Ukulele Wednesday. Another duet with Carmen. If you listen to the Johnny Cash version of this song you will hear he gets some of the lyrics wrong

18.01.2022 It's ukulele Wednesday

09.01.2022 Fretwork. I'm putting a 35deg angle on the end of each fret with this jig to make the fretboard more comfortable to play. Patience.

09.01.2022 It's Ukulele Wednesday again with Carmen and Comfortably Numb

07.01.2022 Thanks so much to Jaime Page and Jordan Cantelo. For anyone interested check out my new web page

07.01.2022 The soundboard is now braced and ready to fit to the sides. Pretty standard Martin X brace system.

06.01.2022 Back to an acoustic build. So much more demanding. This is my first cutaway. I thought I would have a crack at a Florentine. So far so good. Wish me luck.

06.01.2022 I spent a couple of hours fashioning this jig to route saddle slots in bridges. I then spent about 55 seconds routing the actual slot. I seem to spend way more time building tools to build guitars than I spend actually building guitars.

05.01.2022 Small side project helping Matty rebuild his telemaster. Fitted a new Walnut neck. New laminated American White Oak scratch plate. Routed and fitted a mini humb...ucker in the neck position. Inlaid GT stripes (makes it go faster). Refinished the body in retro nitro-cellulous. Sounds amazing See more

05.01.2022 Cutting a rosette from random triangles of Aust rosewood, Sheoak, Blackwood and Camphor Laurel.

04.01.2022 And this old acoustic guitar mould seems to be for ever evolving.
