was thinking of a Yamaha most things they make a usually good quality I'm a complete dumb dumb about them

Well I did it "differently". As the first guitar was all stringed up etc... I did the fretwork levelling on the newer guitar neck. This time I...

yeah - I've found a box that has some binding in it.. no idea what to do with it. If you want some, lemme know. Happy to help out

hmmm.. I might need to look at the costs.. I think the algorithm the site uses makes this very expensive, and unnecessarily so. It'd be probably 3-4...

G'day Mark, I have a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-121S that's about 25 years old that we got for our daughter when she was learning piano. It has...

Very interesting a Tim how about binding especially cream im always trolling eBay for it's sometimes its harder to find as rocking horse sh#t

Hmmm... That sound's like fun. Any idea what cost+shipping would be to the US would be?

Good to know. Plus, a great idea.

got a bit done I've got the es335 all sanded and finished putting new binding on it its ready to mask up and prime up I put new binding on the...

As long as the screw thread is mainly in the wood block it should not matter. Plus, no one will look inside :rolleyes:.

+1. I would normally sand up to 180 g or 240 g with for staining. I sand and then stain for my process. Have you considered the option of grain...

No worries, fender3x, thanks for the advice!

I should mention that I am not the greatest at staining, so others may want to chime in. I typically don't go finer than 220. The exception is on...

Thanks for the replies, everyone! fender3x, thanks for mentioning the grits. I plan to apply one coat of stain and then sand it down before...

Grey and bald omg work faster Dave :)

Playing slide on the ST-1 on this one

You could go grey waiting :D

it certainly can I've found the only way to get the old binding off I found was scrape it off I knocked it up about 1 year ago as using a router on...

Thanks, it's good to at least eliminate something as a "possible cause". I'll use the shielding tape in the second build - just to be sure...

If you don't think the tuners are snug enough you can wrap the shaft (B in the pic) with aluminum or copper tape (what you'd use for shielding). It's...

I like the way you have matched the on the curve on the block to make the glue bond nice and tight, and held it in place with the weight. I have...

Got the same kit will be watching with anticipation

I wonder about the tuners as well..... how "snug" (a tight fit) are they supposed to be? it they are to fit in snug to the point where they cannot...

I know that feeling! Those very high frets look like they are getting very flat, before you see anything come off the 13th or 10th (depending on what...

Maybe I am confused... It seems like it would be easier to just raise the saddle by 1mm to produce the same effect? There is an oldschool method of...

As with the resonator, there is no block on the top shoulder to anchor the strap button, and I like the strap button at that position. So, I made a...
