Noceda guitars

Hi sykodj.

This guitar have a scale of 20" and a light string set (10-46) with no particular problem.

Thanks davtheknave, I try to do my best.

Hi folks how is going today

After a lot of time without updating my thread , here are a few more pics.

Enjoy it.

Cool shape, in a funky Salvador Dali kind of way.

Besides, is it just me or

=

?

next time I'll think in Mickey Mouse...

Thanks for the advice, IbanezDudeCK, but 72 maybe it's too much.

The cutaway, yeah, you are right, I have to work more on it, but, what do you mean when you say "the body it's not fluid"?.

The body isn't so wide, maybe it is a perspective problem in that photo.

The clamps:

Violin's clamps

Used to clamp the violin tops.

I have learned a good lesson the hard way:

Clamp all your stuff when you are not working.

The neck fallen from my workbench and the hit with the hard concrete broke the paduack binding:

I've decide to take off the paduack binding, at fret 17, leaving the sicamore binding.

I think it's not too bad

Hi everybody.

After a short vacation, i've back to work.

The 22 frets instaled

And the neck rough carved.

I hope I can work faster now.

And now more pics:

I will try to use standard tunning with a string set of 0.54 - 0.10, but if i heard somo tunning problems i'll tunnig down a whole step.

It seems like at that scale length, with normal strings, you might want to tune up a minor third. My reasoning is, your scale length is about 4/5 standard, and if you apply that ratio to the 12 semitones of our scale, you chop off three of them.

Another way to look at it is to measure out 20" from the bridge on a standard guitar and see what fret it lands nearest to. Then tune the small guitar like you would a normal guitar capoed at that fret.

Or, if you want it at standard tuning, you'll probably need much heavier strings (and your low E might not sound too good).

Hi Geo, you are right. I was reading this (smallguitars.com):

to get a stable sound and tuning in mini electric guitars we recommend either using higher gauge strings (0.11 would be a good choice), or alternatively, use a higher string tuning, such as A-D-G-C-E-A or an open G: G-D-G-B-D-G. Please refer also to the section below about how to tune a small guitar)

Maybe I try a thicker string set (0.56 - 0.11) or tune it up, not down

Looks good! I like the F holes.

What tuning will you be using?

Thanks Geo.

Hi everybody.

This is my first post and I want to present my new building, still a work in progess.

It's a small guitar with a scale length of 20" (508mm), semihollow sapelly body, hard maple top, laminated neck (brazilian cedar, and paduack) with a very, very small ebony fingerboard. Just one minihumbucker and a custom bridge.

And now some pics

All the woods

Laminated neck

Sapelly body

this are five pieces of sapelly.

I have a question. In spanish, a piece of natural wood (no plywood or similar) it's called "Tablón". A piece made from several pieces it's called "Tablero". Can I call the sapelly body a board "Tablero" of sapelly?

More pics:

this scarft joint it's done in the headstock so when I glue the venner the cut will be hidden.

some work done.
