They are an awesome product, and reasonably priced

Thank you. I appreciate the effort that you have put in to make this happen.

If the size is right, hell yeah

That has some awesome products. Thanks

On one of the Taylor factory tour videos they use a perspex jig to locate the braces for their vacuum jigs during glue up so I guess that you could use the same jig for notching

Steve, did that maton sound better than factory as it looked in that pic?

the fact that I find astonishing is that since John Lennon was shot over 1 million Americans have died from gunfire and they still don't think that it is a problem

looks like lancewood.

Give the board a good dose of lemon oil before starting as a dry board chips a lot more.

buy from a Canadian supplier and you avoid the stupid US rules. They have already done the work

Looks like fret end file was lost down the back of the toolbox so he just used his teeth.

Ovation make them. Think Bon Jovi.Seem to work ok. Maybe use one of those mutes that shredders use to stop the ringing out

Aus post will not normally accept it if it is over 1m long, but once the person takes it they will ship it.
Pack N Send are quite good and they are reasonably priced. $60 from Syd to Melb. If they are near you.

I am going to have to play some of that jazz music in my workshop. It seems to make you work faster

Thank You . That is brilliant. I am sure that we all apreciate the time and effort that you have saved us all.

Thats different, they were just trying to have some fun and the cops throw the book at them.They should be rewarded.Imagine how cold that water must have been. In NZ. In winter!!!

Looks like purpleheart. Is it super hard on tools?

Compensated frets for a "sweetened" tuning maybe???

Majority rules does not work in a mental institution

Makes transport easier

It only does the levelling, you still have to take the time to dress the frets by hand.
And it does not matter how level the frets are, it is still the talent of the repairer that decides the result with their setup.
Neck jig and a good flat leveller gives a job just as good without the $100k outlay

raise the tuning, it sounds a little flat
