GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I am thinking of building my own archtop. Can I get any advice or sample photos for motivation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 have you built a guitar before.. an archtop is quite a big undertaking andit will help to know if you ahve some skill in this area already anyway. looks here for pictures: http://benedetto-guitars.com/ and buy Bob's book on making archtops - its not the most detailed book but does have great photos and drawings, if you havnt built a guitar before i would also buy something on buidling normal acoustics to go with it edit: just saw this on Bobs site - one for teh scrap wood fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I built guitars before, but not an archtop. I sold my archtop a few years back and miss it. Not of my current guitars have that sound. I think I can do it. I am a woodcrafter by hobby. I will look into those books. that pick is really nice...!
