That’s looking good Kristina. I found the guitar body of my ES-5V stayed wetter longer than the dry old thirsty piece of scrap wood I practiced my...

I've just got the digital calipers out on the set I fitted and compared the low E string along the length to D'Addarios. The 0.046" D'addario E...

Look forward to watching your build. Since I'm not building anything new for a while, I'll have to live vicariously through others! How the body...

Thanks for the help guys. It's gone to Santa's workshop for the time being, I'll get it back on Xmas day.

Some knobs are just made badly, with not enough depth to the shaft grip (this is dangerous double entendre territory). But some knobs do slide all...

Best forum running for help when needed Theorn. There's some great craftsman here willing to help out with out the attitude you sometimes see on...

Well done Fretty, she looks really nice. Love the highlighted grain.

If it is still 3 point anchored you probably want front as flat as possible to help get a low action. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

It begins. Ordered way back when. Received a bit delayed after the August/September shipment. Moved house. Did house things. Now making a feeble...

Thanks McCreed, Yes, I do have a soldering iron. Good to know that there is a solution that doesn't involve sanding it right back. Graham.

Hi Kristian, I bought ES-1GT a few weeks ago and your top has better grain then mine. Same as you have found out, about 5 reasonable size glue spots...

Looking good (other than that ding!). Presumably you have a soldering iron. I reckon you'd be able stem out dang near all of that dint. Just...

It was another week of sanding in the evenings when I had a spare minute. Getting to the end of the school year so I'm very busy at the moment. I...

I have read that the trick with the 3 post bridges is to have the front a little higher than the back so that it has a slight backwards angle. I'll...

Agree that you will need to check scale length first before contemplating any mods. Otherwise, good lick with the build. The 3 point bridge seems...

That was good practical thinking. I have a couple of NUX pedals and been happy with their performance.

Looks great. How many coats of Tru Oil did you finish up with? Can you add a washer (or extra nut) to each pot on the backside of the...

Yeah the Barber is Low to Mid drive OD. The Nux is a cheap modulation multi-effect unit. You can set up 9 presets with two effects in each. Aldi...

Welcome Theorn

I like 1 and 5.

Welcome Ian

Hi Greg, appreciate your advice. Cheers

Hi Simon, thanks so much for your advice,I might give it a try

Personally I prefer the original design, or Jim’s version to the more pointy one. If you are going with a pointy V and may be an assymetrical one...

It’s together and working. Set up and intonation need to be done still. String trees need to be installed and I need to decide if I replace the knobs...

Aluminium shielding tape from Jaycar. Bunnings doesn’t seem to sell the snail tape anymore.... The Marshall MS2 has been one of my best purchases....
