Absolutely no need to guess. Right here. https://www.stewmac.com/FretCalculator.html
and while I'm at it, I'll add that lil' nascar rascal is my daily driver. I love it.
Thanks Simon, as you state, you gotta follow the instructions to burst waterslide with poly before removing it from the print. Works pretty good though.
And thanks for the posting tip. That's been...
This isn't a PBG kit, but, this lil' bari uke is one of my favs from an art standpoint. Les Moore & the Same <=> . wanted it to look like I carved it with a pocket knife so I did. ANYWAY - this is...
Well - Waterslide paper is your best bet if you have access to a printer. It ain't cheap, but you can print anything you want. Transparent or white. OTOH - eh, standby posting a pic as soon as I can...
Adam - email sent. Forum, note - Adam is *ON TOP* of this stuff. Great customer service.
I'm on my second MM-1Q kit. The first one arrived without the headstock retainer bar, and the tremolo bar wouldn't thread properly onto the provided floyd rose licensed bridge.
Despite that, it...
Literally, about an hour ago, I let my orbital sander drift ever so slightly from perfect plane (wrist droop) - I *KNEW* better than to orbital sand the finish coats of veneer that I personally...
@simon - can you relate "intensifier" to USA chemicals? I THINK I know what he's needing to do, but I don't really know what that is exactly.
@darkmark ... "Isn't that how..."
You did *not* mess with Mr. Evanson. We were all terrified of him. One year they recruited this great guitar player, but all the scholarships were tied to...
Hey @honkenstein Simon helped me a lot a year ago and I am deeply grateful. My best advice would be DO IT. GO FOR IT. and then after it is done, and everybody looks at it and says "wow - that is...
Simon - Thoman is *exactly* what I was looking for. Bought her a Harley Benton. I gotta say Thoman does something I haven't seen US guitar stores do - they just play audio clips. No dude talking...
Thanks Simon!
Beveled Oboe Reed Knife for binding scraping. It makes it fun, and won't slice the crap out of your fingers. You can wrap your fingers around the blade and it won't cut you, but sharp as F*** for...
I've made two blue stain guitars now - 1 "violin style" bass pb, 1 not (my personal bari uke).
It is a very elusive color, tougher than any of the rest. http://amarkinstruments.com I'm very much a...
Hi gang, my youngest daughter moved to Prague last week, on a 23 yr old's ambition of "doing something different." From Arkansas USA. She and 2 other like minded young ladies. They're paying for it...
Enrico did nobody reply to you? We're usually better than that. Sounds like it got under control though. Good luck! Which kit?
Think of it as "shiny to shiny" on each component connection of the bridge assembly? It doesn't need to be BIG - those wires are smaller than a ball point pen head in general, it need not be bigger...
News on SKY and all USA media paint a very grim scene. Thinking about all my guitar building buddies I've met on this forum that live there...
I've had good results with "natural" stain from minwax on maple fretboards. It seems to grab just enough of the darks to make it really pop against the contrasting pale maple. But like Simon said,...
Thanks for the thorough response Simon! That all makes a lot of sense.
put another way... I've got excellent string separation from nut to grover lockers... without the hats... and it looks kinda cool like that - harp-like.
There are generally two. My question is - are they *really* needed or is it "just cuz..."
That's a cool idea Simon (washer on screw spring).
