Nice little demo there - great work!
Thanks Doc - that's really interesting and good to know.
Hey folks, been pretty busy with work so haven't posted for ages. Still three guitars halfway built and showing no signs of progressing! Just thought I'd share a little project I did on the...
Here’s what I’ve been mucking around with recently. I’m playing guitar in my band these days (weird for an old bass player, especially as I’m singing too!) and I’ve been experimenting with a two amp...
Nice one Mick - I'm intrigued by the backstory, can you share it?
Hey folks, it's been way too long between posts. I've been playing more than building recently although there are a couple of non-guitar builds I'll share shortly. In the meantime, here's a list of...
I'll give the counterpoint to Simon! I've had a T5 for a long while and I love it. A great recording guitar and very comfortable to play IMHO. Now I haven't worked on mine, nor would I think it be an...
Now there's a genre I've not heard of before!!!
I think the most important thing is, as others have said, we aren't playing for sheep stations here! GOTM is fun thing. On that basis I think all the "full disclosure but anything goes" comments are...
Pretty good Simon. At the moment I've just got the cheapy strings on it so I figure I'll get a better feel for it when I restring. I really like the "half-out-of-phase" position, and the bridge...
Great work Andy - a guitar that looks great in the pictures but even better in person! And top stuff from all the entries as usual!!
Thanks folks, I really happy with it. It also means I can get stuck into the other builds I've got on the go as I decided not to touch them until I finished this one!
Well it's taken a while, but as usual it all comes together in a rush. I finished the wiring but made a couple of mistakes so had to redo it. The rest all worked out pretty well. The name, "EC...
When I did my fuzz face clone I simply primed the enclosure then my daughter painted it with those little Humbrol enamel tins you use with models. Then posca pen for the writing and a clear coat and...
Great minds obviously!!
You got me interested Fretty so I started hunting and I think I've found it - actually a little disappointed as I thought it was my idea!!

It's from the Pawn Shop series and it's called a...
Nice - although you know I also liked it as a George Harrison-style rosewood tele!
You can find the wiring diagram for the Nashville tele with a blend pot at Tonefiend...
Those bridge post holes are correct - it's set up for a slightly offset bridge to help intonation. At least that's how they are on my JZA kits and how it was explained to me, and my bridge does fit....
I built myself a router sled Andy. It's not perfect but it does allow me to knock 5-8mm off the body thickness and deal with little bits of movement in the timber when it's glued. Once I've given...
Ha! It was actually while searching for stuff around Nashville tuning that I came across the Nashville wiring thing. I've actually strung up my Gretsch 5120 with Nashville tuning and I find it really...
It's good old dressed pine from the Green Shed - five pieces of 90x45 glued together. Whenever I'm in there I check the stock of 1.2m lengths and if there's a nice straight one or two I grab them...
Pretty sure the neck came with those dot markers, and yes, that's the "behind the workbench" Ponch neck!
21st fret? I don't think I've ever been there on a guitar! Heck, I barely get past the...
Sounds like a cool plan Chris - I'll certainly be following it!
Probably way to early to put something up, but somehow starting a build diary makes you focus. Not that I don't have enough going at the moment with three other builds!!
After scoring a reverse...
A cracking build - and having been lucky enough to have a quick play I can tell you it sounds as good acoustically as it looks!
