jai Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 hey, welcome to the our happy little forum. What guitar building expirence do you have? Quote Link to comment
budman68 Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hey there jai, Actually a little bit. I've built a solid body made of ash split by a piece of rosewood and used a carvin neck on it. Did an inlay on it and looks pretty good but I have to say the one I'm pretty proud of is an "F" style mandolin that I used Roger Siminoffs book to guide me. That was a very hard project but I'm glad I finished it! I'm working on another solid body made of solid walnut that will have only a transducer in it with no visible pickups. It's a carved top so it was pretty tricky for me to do but it's getting along. I'm in the wetsanding stage now so it' won't be too long till it's finished(I hope ). Thanks, Dave-> Quote Link to comment

Reaper Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 howdy. Don't look in the slam topic if you know what's good for you... or unless you have a strong stomach. Other than that, have fun! Quote Link to comment
