That wiring diagram should work with any of the ES-1's. I am pretty sure that the wiring diagram...

A bit like my girth after the week away :rolleyes:

That's an impressive looking little beast! I can't quite picture how you use it, though. But the results suggest it works great.

That's awesome! Your fame has spread far and wide.

That's actually my favorite part of building. I never have a totally firm idea about what will come out of the build. There is something great about...

Agreed! The guitars are gorgeous. I am guessing this is not a business that pays the bills. Nice set of machines, and any house big enough to have...

Thanks for the advice, I do have a roll of pin striping tape and will be taking great care around the bindings. As for the headstock, I am still...

you sure about that headstock if you dowel it it will limit you to a paint finish and doing a veneer Paul you very 1st finish will be you best but...

got some work done yesterday scrapped out the old binding its 1 job I hate because you can mess it up a few years ago I made a tool to scrape the old...

No joy, I'm afraid. Sorted that out and any difference is very minimal. Well - I'll make a metal notched straight edge and check the fretboard....

Thanks guys, yeah I’m glad I persisted, I actually think I prefer the sound of this one over the kit one, this one has a deeper tone and a unique...

Yes, that's possible. The neck bows under tension, and it's not uncommon for the string to be a little closer at the 22nd than the 17th. I checked...

The Phoenix Guitars look very nice. Also, interesting that their classes only have 2 students!

I like the parquetry style cover plate. Nice work! I'm glad you continued with it.

That's a very unique looking instrument. Probably the most unique resonator I have seen. How do you like it compared to the kit?

I may have found it....... utilising the eyesight of someone over 45 years younger than me this time ....... I had a thought that maybe the neck...

I pulled my big boy pants on and worked on the project again. Finished now. Got a bit creative with the looks of it, pleased with the end result....

Magic stuff SX bass, a few guy I've seen on youtube who do reviews have reviewed a few SX Vintage Strats every one who picks 1 up love them prior to...

Today I tried white vinegar with a little dishwashing liquid. It sort of worked on the fingerboard. It may have made the gummy a little softer on the...

For some reason they do the neck fitting before they put the frets on. I don't know why. May just be the way they do it. The products look pretty...

At least now you (and we) know what does not work!

Thanks again. Yes, that does seem a bit odd, but maybe that allows for fretless necks as well.

I forgot to mention that in the book they take the measurement before the frets go on the fretboard, so it is literally the plane of the...

Thanks fender3x. I have about 3/4 of an inch from the plane of the fretboard and the deck where the bridge goes. So hopefully all good. I have a...

Well my experiments to gently (and in one case not so gently) remove the sticky on the binding have pretty much failed. I got the best results...
