  1. I finally deactivated Instagram yesterday after The Spectacle, so I need a lot of new people to follow here and on rss etc. Who’s making content about building guitars? Are there communities, publications, forums or whatever I should read? (I already follow @michael who is excellent) #luthier #guitarmaking

  6. Hardware (cnt'd):
    D’Addario Planet Waves Elliptical End Pins
    Electrosocket Jack Mount
    Gotoh 9V Battery Box

    I'm really happy with how this turned out, and can't wait to play it more.

    New builds coming soon, I hope.

  8. Tempted by this, but does anyone know what this luthier was intending? It seems incomplete and I don't get the two jacks nor the area where knobs would be.

  9. Bah. Two screw heads sheered off, managed to drill out the first screw, but it's happened again, and my tiny Dremmel drill bits are all broken. Thankfully the mess is still covered by the machine head when it's in place, but I'm a bit stuck now until I order more drill bits.

    Botheration.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

  21. Update on my #GGBO2023 build:

    Last week, I routed pickup cavities through the top. Yesterday, I drilled the tuner holes through the headstock, routed the body round-over, carved the elbow/arm carve, and shaped the body/neck transition.

    Next up: Sprinting to the finish line this week!! Only 3 days left! Routing a double 9V battery box cavity, then fretwork, sanding, finish, then hardware & electronics!

  23. Maker Forums has been such an interesting place, and cool things keep happening. A year and a half ago, someone showed up with an idea for making a pedal steel guitar (something that this classical music fan didn't even know existed) that could allow more versatile tuning electronically than is feasible purely mechanically.

    He started prototyping, but life got in the way and he didn't finish his build yet.

    A few weeks ago, a new forum participant showed up. It turns out he had already completed a similar build successfully. 😮
