@jmcmi93888 That build is just stunning..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I have been off line for a while but am still alive and kicking. I refinished the face of the acoustic to get rid of a crazing effect and bothe are sounding good despite my playing abilities. As poste...

Thanks Mark. I'm still fine tuning action and relief as it settles down. I'll drop in to let you see it soon.

- A touch of Amber on the back and sides? Vintage-tastic! Well done John - well impressive indeed! It was a pleasure to help but I think you didn't need a lot from me - top job - massive chunk of HERO...

Thanks bill. You mean that I have to learn to play it? Watch this space. I have an idea.

That is very beautiful. Well done! Any chance you can post a video so that we can hear it?

As in the Rolling Stones song "It's all over now". A year has passed and what have I got to show for it. Thisle 2 the archtop. All nicely polished and strung. Still got the fine intonation to do once ...

I have finished the lacquer application and now have to wait for it to harden up before the final finish/polish process so I have started on the electrics. I'm using Schatten volume and tone controls ...

Thanks but you'll have to join the queue already wanting a "shot". Pick up is to be finger rest mounted KA Jazzy Joe. Hoping for playability about Easter.

@jmcmi93888 Fine work. Would love to play it when finished. Rockers don’t get it. Green or red for a jazz guitar! Nah. Are you going for a neck floating pickup or leave it acoustic? Guild have reissue...

Progress thanks to the bad weather. Making the ancillary bits and bobs and have ordered all the parts to finish the guitar. Decided on stain colour. Not green!!!! Attachment : IMG_20200211_154844[...

Oh Wow excellent John. Favourite colour for an archtop has to be heritage cherry red. Attachment : es-335-2016-hd-4-111129.png

Green was my favourite colour for guitars once - I was going to call my company 'Green Guitars' - and they were all going to be green...glad I didnt'! I have some green color tone stain if you want to...

You were right Mark. Side dots only. Frets next. Been experimenting with water based dyes on scraps from the original body wedges but don't think the maple will "pop" like the really flamed guitars do...

Looks really good!

Great work John ! Thanks for sharing the pics - Inspiring. Inlays and frets then you are ready for finishing? Are you going to leave the front of the fretboard blank (side dots only)?

Previously posted under "Return of the Thistle" I have been making slow progress. Main problem was the hand cut dovetail neck joint which is now complete and done with very sharp chisels, a digital mi...
