kenggg Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 looking good! is that Ash?...I thought that it was pine to begin with but it looks much more like ash from the close-up. where did you get the bridge from? Yes, It's ASH. But, it's no swamp ash. It's so haevy. For Bridge, I'm know friend in Hongkong, he's buy to me. Do you want this? It's no need Double Ball String.

Robert Irizarry Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Very cool! Thanks for starting the thread. I've based my first build on the Klein Electric shape as well and its exciting to see others work with the form. How did you come up with your dimensions? Did you scale up an image? Regards, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-of-the-strings Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Is it just me or does that fingerboard look THICK? Great work Kenggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenggg Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Jon : I'm not sure in name of this wood. Rob : Yes, I see your project, it's cool project. For dimension, I will measure it. Lord : Yes, it's thick. However, I will do in thick fingerboard. This is another fingerboard. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p227/la...6164_resize.jpg See at side. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p227/la...6165_resize.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Irizarry Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Rob : Yes, I see your project, it's cool project. For dimension, I will measure it. Thanks! I'm curious how you arrived at the dimensions. I started from a CAD drawing of the Klein Harp guitar which is a bit wider than the standard Klein. Did you start from a photo?

kenggg Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I use Photoshop for scale up this picture. I set scale length : 25.5". Seperate it to 4 part, print it. Take 4 part is joint by gule. I can't use CAD. HAHA I'm not sure in dimension of Klein guitar. But, this method is work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
