3DogNate Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm in progress of building an L-00 Sized acoustic. I've only sparsely photo documented what I've done so far. I'm going to start this thread with what I've got so far and start posting some more shots as I continue. This is the back set raw after joining them Here the Sides are in the mold Then a quick jump to after the back is braced and attached to the lined and trimmed side set.

3DogNate Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here is the body closed up. The top is Adirondack Spruce with an Ebony Rosette and Rosewood binding with BWB purfling. Here I am fitting the rough Honduras Mahogany neck blank to the body and getting it aligned. Here is the rough carved Neck And the head stock Ebony Veneer with my inlaid logo.

verhoevenc Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Nice lookin' guit-box! How'd the spalt affect bending and stuff? I see you are blessed with CNC as well Lucky! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3DogNate Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Beautiful! Love that spalted maple! Mango Nice lookin' guit-box! How'd the spalt affect bending and stuff? I see you are blessed with CNC as well Lucky! Chris Only CNC used on this one was on the headstock veneer and inlay... everything else is pretty old school... I've only used the CNC on Electric stuff... and I just finished building the CNC machine you see.. so I've not really even broken it in yet. The spalted Mango is pretty soft like Spanish Cedar or a really light Mahogany... Bends like a dream. I bent this one on a pipe, I was scared to do in the bender because of the spalt... But it bent quite easily. Edited February 1, 2011 by 3DogNate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osorio Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Some day I´ll try to do an acoustic guitar, but, seeing this topic I see that I need learn a little bit more to this! Very nice and clean work! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osorio Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 This work it´s so wonderfull that deserve a better cam. Okay I use a little sony digicam to take build progress pics and a Pro Nikon with two aux flashes to the final pics, but this build ask for!

3DogNate Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 This work it´s so wonderfull that deserve a better cam. Okay I use a little sony digicam to take build progress pics and a Pro Nikon with two aux flashes to the final pics, but this build ask for! Yeah no doubt. I have just been using the camera on my Palm Pre phone. It's passable as a cam barely. But it's always with me. I have a better camera but rarely use it for in progress pictures... I've actually been keeping my eye ouy for a good deal on a decent camera to keep in the shop at all times... But for now the phone cam will probably have to do until the finished beauty shots. Thanks for the compliments though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DogNate Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Not much more work has been done I mostly been busy with other stuff the last couple of weeks. But I've got all the pore filling done now. Just finished porefilling the neck a little while ago.. here's a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops1983 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Really nice,clean professional work nate, I just recently started going through the acoustic section to get a better grip on how building an acoustic is achieved and i noticed you are in there quite a bit. Props to anyone who builds acoustics let alone really good ones, its just a whole other level!!! Chad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFly Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I don't get to see the acoustic build progress too much on this forum, so this is a pretty nice change I like your giant MDF mold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
