  • Workshop F*ckups
    Oct 21 2026

    Bob, Martin and Matt catch up on what's on their benches. Bob talks about carving guitar necks by feel. Matt walks through his CNC neck workflow and the handwork a machine still can't replace. They cover show prep, working with limited shop time, and what's coming next for Harmer Guitars. Then they get honest about workshop mistakes: customer repairs that went wrong, resprays, and learning when to say no. That leads into a sobering talk about serious injuries and machine safety. To finish, they take on a common pickup myth: does higher DC resistance really mean a hotter pickup? They explain how wire gauge, magnets and voicing shape tone, and why the right pickup depends on the band and the music.

  • Does a CNC-Built Guitar Have a Soul?
    Oct 8 2026
    Can a guitar made with a CNC machine still have soul? In Episode 3 we start with updates from the bench: repairs and how we run the shop. Then we look at where a guitar's character really comes from. We talk about outsourcing work to specialists and when a build stops counting as 'handmade', the difference between handmade and homemade, and what CNC actually does in a real guitar shop. We finish with two myth checks: do heavier strings automatically sound better, and does tonewood matter on electric guitars?

  • Guitar Builders Roundtable: Booths, CNC Neck Angles, and Design Philosophy
    Sep 24 2026
    The crew catches up on what's been on each builder's bench, then digs into why booth branding and presentation matter at guitar shows. Martin talks teaching, freelance work, and remote CNC workflows, and the conversation turns technical with a deep dive on machining angled neck pockets and planning guitar geometry on a CNC. From there it's design philosophy — why 'fully custom' requests so often turn into complete redesigns, where the design process really starts, and how classic forms still shape modern builds. The episode wraps with a look at modern tools lowering the barrier to entry, the challenge of standing out, and a few guitar myths (including a spirited take on zero frets).
