You may have seen some of those cool "lightning strike" woodburned fretboards and stuff, but it's always seemed way too dangerous for me to want to have a go at. I've just picked up on this UK news article about a man who died whilst trying this…
Read more…I've recently encountered a curious thing - a customer asked me if I could fit a humbucker pickup into a cigar box guitar that he'd just bought, and I said it depended on how it had been built, but I'd be happy to take a look at it and see what…

Since getting into this area of Guitar playing, I watch endless videos trying to gain as much knowlege as I can. Lately, I.ve run into diatonic, pentatonic, fretting with only about 8 fretts, like a dulcimer. In one, the guy had it his 3 strings tuned in such a way as to make playing blues like falling off a log. I think Justin Johnson had one. Problem is, I can never find them on line again. Wish I could be more help. What is a good size router bit for shaping the back of necks? I just bought nice router. Hmm, now what?? good talking to you, sorry I couldn't be more help. I go into computer stores and they look at me and say, "what's the point." Gordon
Just happened to see the video of your tilt neck CBG's. That is plain awesome thinking and design. Like your idea over the Fender design.
Good to know you Chickenbone. Just been checking out your "Jitterbug Swing" , liked Bukka White for eons and your version is ace. How did you come to buy The Works entire UK stock of BBG's? How much are you selling them for?
Are you at the Liverpool guitar show on Sunday?
Definitely not your fault mate. Postie put a missed delivery slip through the door without bothering to knock. Then when I tried to collect it from the post office they looked for 20 minutes then said they'd lost it. Then after I rode to work they called to say they'd found it...
Hi John, after a bit of a nightmare with the Post Office (long story) I finally received the fretboard blanks from you this morning. They're wonderful, thanks very much! Cheers for the offcuts too!
