verhoevenc Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I decided in the spare time between other projects and work, when I've got a couple minutes to spare I'd start preparing for my ultimate build.... what I've been working up to since I started luthiery: a hollow body jazz style archtop guitar. But I also figured I'd practise in $5 HD pine before I destroyed some quality wood. So I hand jointed with a plane (poorly) some of said pine, and rough cut out a shape. And yes I know it looks squaty, cause it's only 15" across, yet the same length (20.75") as a Benedetto 17". But I never plan to USE this top (cause of the wood, poor joints, and general shape, and cause it's purely jsut for practise) so it's all good.

Vinny Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) Hey Chris, were you in my shop ? I did the same with pine for my archtop, I got as far as bending the sides and getting the hollow body assembled. But I stopped building to make a Flying Vee for my son (almost finished) and have 2 Teles in the works. The Jazzbox in on the back burner right now, but its for me so I dont mind. I will be a Blueburst ES175 style thinline. -Vinny Heres the Mold with the sides and kerf lining http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l154/Vin...32/P1010476.jpg Edited November 12, 2006 by Vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
