    I was changing my strings and noticed my bridge is slotted, but I also have slotted bridge pins. I never noticed this before, and I wonder if the Luthier I brought it to had done it when I paid him for a set-up when the guitar was new. So I slotted the string through the bridge slots and the pin slots *face palm* I wonder if I can adjust it without using new strings.

    They way I see it is the CNC is just another tool, just like a bandsaw or drum sander. If you get right down to it, a claim could be made that an instrument isn't handmade if any power tool is used.

    I'm cool with the back to the roots style videos. One of my favorites was the Talisker Storm video. I even tracked down a bottle...not a big fan of it. It was good, but not my jam. lol

    Seeing major steps of different models and woods being built is great, the process and thoughts behind the process is great, and regularity is very important, we’ve all seen shows/channels fade for different reasons, you’ve already put lots of instructional videos out…but I do love watching the step by step progress of a single build

    This format is 100% fine. You’re on UA-cam. The “you” in “UA-cam” strongly implies amateur production values. It doesn’t need to be made into “ProTube” to get views or be engaging and worthwhile. That’s the YOU part. We are here for that part.
