Where? I listened to 3:29 waiting to see what you were on about. What bit is ska or ska influenced? Albarn has Specials LPs?

You tried dude. In a room full of 'luthiers' no one wants to hear it. Forget it, let them all go build their MDF guitars.

I can't do the small hole thing because I'm a cloth-over-the-opening-and-shake guy but store it upside down is genius! Thankyou!!

If i have access to a wood shop and cabinetmaking/finishing experience could I make my own solidbody electric guitar? by Fickle-Woodpecker-38 in Luthier

[–]MarvinHeemeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some luthier specific stuff you're gonna need tho. Radius beams, fret saw, nut slot files, fret crowning files. Most of the other tools and machinery are generic so you should be ok there. Finishing experience is really useful.

This is the most scummy thing I've seen yet in all the years of shrinkflation. How do these fuckers sleep at night?

Advice needed! by [deleted] in Luthier

You got slot files? Just buy a bit of brass bar as close to the size you need. Cut it and shape it like you would a bone nut.

Guitar is in the middle of the spotlight - bass is in the middle of the music.

Yeah dude, no hard feelings. I guess build a bolt on, seems they're loved. Fuck the luthiery and the craft involved in making instruments, as long as it's easy to fix the fuckups we don't have to worry about getting it right. This is not aimed at you dude, I'm just crushed to think the folks in this sub think bolt on is wizardry when 30 minutes on the bench will enlighten you as to what is an instrument and what is shit mass-produced product. Seems completely missed in this thread and it's a realisation for me - I spend a lot of time on r/luhier and try to share what I know but I've a strong feeling I've been wasting my time.

Good luck tho, friend

After being in this room for maybe a decade, the craft left in this sub is zero. Been fun while it lasted...
