    I've been wondering about this recently. My fingerboard (rosewood) is really dirty, just a build up of dirt and grime. I didn't know what would be best to use I didn't want to sand/scrape the gunk off in fear of messing up the wood and I didn't know what sort a chemicals/cleaners would damage it. She's cheap and old but I still love her! Beard-ee

    Cheers. I can see how the tone could be effected slightly by a glue joint but I can't see it making that much of a difference.

    I'm still mulling over a few things about my guitar. I originally liked the idea of a bolt on neck but now I've started to think about a set one instead. What are the advantages / disadvantages of each? Which do you all prefer? Beardy

    This is my first attempt at anything like this so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! It isn't really any type. I did a few sketches and came up with a couple of designs but then one night I just drew a free-hand shape and then let it evolve from there. It isn't a radical design but I'm happy with it. Thanks for all the help everyone. I have a pic of the wood I have and I know you all like pics here!! I hope the come out ok, they are quite small I only have a cheapy camera. The design I'd like to keep at the moment is for the headstock..... I think it looks pretty funky. Beard-ee

    Yeah everyone seems to be real friendly. I think that's why I've been hanging around for the last few months. I've had a quick look at what has been said and they look good. Thanks. Have a groovy weekend everyone

    Hello. I’m a long time watcher first time poster embarking on my first guitar. I was hoping for some help with a site where I can get all the parts in one hit. Pups, truss rod, tuners, bridge, nuts and knobs hehe (sorry) I’m From England so I don’t really want to spend out on shipping from the US or anything like that. I’m in Hampshire so if you know of anywhere local then I’d be willing to do a bit of travelling for the right price. I’ve got the wood for the body. It’s a lovely piece of mahogany and I’ve got to get something for the neck. I was thinking maple / mahogany / maple. It’s great have a carpenter friend who’s willing to *ahem* give me materials from his boss’ boat yard. And anything that’s not in the yard he can get at trade price. Thanks in advance Beard-ee
