hi guys , just dropping in to see what's happening and ask a few questions in the luthiers section . But I'll fill you in with what I'm up to , I've decided to build a Roxy SG and I managed to get outlines from a 63 junior and a 68 std , the 63 is the one with the same neck join at the last...
Hardware will be , Kluson tuners , gotoh bridge and aluminium tailpiece , pearly gates pups , switchcraft switch and jack , cts pots wired 50's style with braided wire and pio caps , and thanks :)
Hi guys , still busy with college and making guitars here's a few pics of the last acoustic i finished the other week , it's a wee Martin 0 with the bracing pattern from an 1875 Martin , sounds and plays great :)
Frank , the Dread is a cracker , sitka spruce top , coco bolo back and sides , flame maple bindings and end graft , ebony f/board and bridge , it destroys Martin Dreads :)
and as for electric builds , i'm just about to start a Les Paul build :)
Thanks guys , these lovely guitars are for poeple to try out , except the Dread , thats mines :) if you fancy a build let me know what you want :)
and i get to claim syscokids hot sexy woman , a fair trade :)
Thanks Guys , syscokid , that is my take on a martin 0045 , a fantastic sounding and looking geetar if i do say so myself ,
need to get some daylight shots :)
Hi guys , not been about for a while but been busy at luthier college here in sunny Scotland , i'll need to do some reading here to catch up on whats been happening , anyway here's a we pic of the 5 guitars i built last year , 2 OM's , a 00 45 , 000 12 fret and a Martin 1941 dread ( with coco :) )
Hi guys , not been about much at all and just thought i'de give you an update , college is going well , passed the woodworking beginers course (no **** lol) also the fretwork part of it , got my front ready for the rosette making bit and back and sides are thicknessed and also good to go :)...
Thanks guys :) things are picking up nicely , i wish i had done this years ago instead of spending 30 odd years in construction LOL
Bettyboo , unfortunatly for you the cherry faded is the sg i pick up the most , there's just something about the sanded fat neck , it just feels right :) oh and...
