hey i think the carve looks really good

just a question what thickness did u use for the binding around the neck?

thanks

i believe UG has an ultimate template thread

might be worth checking out

sorry what is an ERG or ERB?

im sure i will kick myself when you tell me

admittedly a bit strange

especialy the opposite direction fan and with such a small difference between the two

but its cool to see new ideas

can u walk me through ur tuning peg placement again

i dont see any advantages to it

always liked the look of the fernandes ravelle

not so much the headstock though

verycool

nice to see an original spin on a classic

oh my

oh my

the necks fantastic

what does checking mean?

got any plans for it?

ah ok

i know blackmachine well

well then yeah def do taht they look sooo sleek

hey

can i see an example of whta you mean when u say super thin?

like how thin exactly?

cheating on UG i see...

lol build still looks sweet

u going to be posting more builds up on here to now?

Hey

im buying up supplies for an acoustic build i plan to start in about a month when i return from holidays and i was just wondering if a

more experienced acoustic builider could give my list a quick glance to see if tehre is anything ive missed out.

• Soundboard
  
• Back/Side set
  
• Bracing
  
• Kerfed lining
  
• Tailblock
  
• Neckblock
  
• Bridge blank
  
• Neck Blank
  
• Fingerboard
  
• reinforcing plate for bridge
  
• Others- frets,strings,plans, book
  

on the note of the book i plan on getting the Build Your Own Acoustic Guitar by Knikaid. Ive heard mixed revioews and i was wondering if anyone recoomends a different book

thanks for all your help.

so what. jsut thickness the whole headsctock with a drum sander?

interesting.

how long did it take?

that turned out really good

how many coats did it take to get that burst

had to push the 25" scale and convince him not to go with a zero fret. I spent all that time learning how to cut nuts properly, might as well use the experience! I don't like the looks of a zero fret anyway...

yeah see i figure ive never cut a nut and dont hvae the tools so a zero fret is just perfect for me

guitars are looking real good though

how many of these are you planning to make?

what arent u happy about with them?

do u think we can get some more pics?

builds looking real good

just one Q

how exactly did u get from john to fue lol

u piqued my curiosity

The headstock reminds me a lot of Blackmachine's headstocks, but they have even less material in that area, and it seems to work for them.

yeah i heard that they reinforce them with something though

really like that shape too

and btw this is starting to look a lot like the build i had planned for next

ill have to think of something new now..

keep up the good work

wow ur really pumping these out

looking real good though

anything diff about no3. apart from lefty?

What's up with that fretboard?

its a fanned fretboard go read up on ormsbys latest build about them

waht scale lengths are u using?

hey for the bridge what is the base made out of? like above the wood

any do u think we could get some closer shots of the bridge? it looks awesome

interesting

might try and rig one up later

to count windings you can get a cheap calculator and solder a NO momentary switch to the "=" sign. You then set the switch up so every time it gets hit by the pickup's bobbin it is triggered. You then push 1+1 on the calculator and youre good to go

does that work? sounds interesting do u think u could get a pic up?

oh god yes

go with bens

would look great with some tung on it
