Popular Post Retrosonix Posted January 2, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 So very nearly done. i have strung it up with some electric strings and will let it be a guitar for a few days before levelling the frets and doing the nut properly etc. even though it needs some gentle lovin to make it all it could be i am very, very happy with it. it could be love! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Retrosonix Posted January 5, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. i have been very lucky on this build, if you zoom in on the headstock you can see that the d and g string tuners are REALLY close and the low e just misses the edge of the headstock - this was definitely luck and NOT accurate measuring on my behalf! i do like the small headstock - it looks right to me there are plenty of little errors that most people wouldnt see but a guitar builder would. it plays very nicely and i will get some recording done shortly. fretboard is some kind of rosewood that i found that was for an abandoned project. the tuners are hipshot open locking tuners which look amazing and are the best i have used. i may do a different bridge as i found some thumb screws to make an adjustable bridge but i might not, 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrosonix Posted January 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 I made the bridge better and reshaped the neck (slimmed) it records well, wish i was a better player! i tried to use minimal effects so the guitar could be heard in context - solo guitars are a little loud - oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizman62 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Were all guitars the same instrument? Three at the minimum if I heard right? Anyhow, that was a nice piece of music, I could easily listen to that while waiting a service to answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizman62 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Very nice! There's that archaic twang that makes me think about cavemen plucking the strings of their bows... And I like that very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
