This site is kinda interesting: http://www.lutesandguitars.co.uk/htm/cat11.htm
Sorry to nitpick, but the 15th century hardly qualifies as ancient. Nevertheless, finding any info on construction techniques and materials from...
The wedge might solve the problem cosmetically, but since the glue joint failed at that spot, I would assume that the rest of the joint isn't...
The inlay I did yesterday is looking good and curing just fine. The epoxy is already very hard. Like I said, I think I'm just paranoid.
I use 5 minute epoxy mixed with fine sanding dust to glue in my inlays. I just did a huge gothic L inlay in an ebony fretboard for a bass I'm...
Thanks Adam.
Showed my true colors? I didn't sign up for a forum with the sole intention of slandering someone else with zero substantiation. I am simply...
Listen. I'm done with this. I don't give a shit what you think, and I doubt anyone else does either. I'm not obligated to explain anything to you....

Finally finished wet sanding and buffing, so couldn't wait to install the tuners. [IMG] Pickups, bridge, tailpiece, strings. [IMG]...
Hmmph. They don't ship to Canada, so they can go to hell. On their website support section, it says they do, but when I actually tried to order...
I can't figure out why some SGs neck dive, but others don't. My SG Standard had a bit of a neck dive problem, but my SGJ14 doesn't dive, and it's...
We bought my son a very cheap kids metal detector a few years ago. He is 15 now and has no interest in it, so I appropriated it. It works...
Wow, that's a lot more than I thought actually. On my first one, I had about 4 coats down, and wet sanded VERY gently. I did end up sanding...
Anyone finish a guitar before? Bueller?
Hey guys, I know there's some of you can answer these questions for me. I'm just in the process of finishing 2 guitars. My plan when I started...
