Michael Winston Dales Guitars: Blog

I've learned a lot from other guitar builders over the years, and so this blog is a way for me to share my own build experiences and hopefully let others learn from my success and mistakes!

A guitar neck sits on the workbench, with the fretboard covered in masking tape to leave just the ferts showing. Half the frets have black sharpie on them, waiting to be shaped, the rest are shiny where they've been worked on.

Two weeks in the shop

28 Apr 2018 - bridge, effects, fretwork, hoxton, mastery, owl, pedals

In which I work on the frets for my prototype offset build, check out the nice Mastery bridge unit, and try coding up some of my own effects with the Hoxton Owl pedal.
