Kind words, thank you. I'm quietly proud of it - never thought I could accomplish it. It's a real tribute to Mark's teaching abilities and patience. It hasn't capsized yet. I'm lucky to own a Martin a...

I know this is from an old post. I've just been surfing through the forums. This guitar came out beautiful. Very well done. I'm getting excited to start my first build. I've started making some more c...

Great build - excellent set of pictures - thanks!

I’m loving it Herb, well done. I’ll have a go one day.

You’ve given me something to aspire to Herb, thank you for sharing. I don’t have a lot of disposable income at the moment but it’s something for me to look into deeper and start making some clamps ma...

Great Thread Herb - Thanks for posting - Awesome pictures! Guitar looks fantastic - Can't wait to hear it! ?

It's mostly a very different thing to an electric build. Much more chisel work - feels more "analogue". Need some odd things like an inner tube from a lorry, half a dozen "Klemsia" clamps and access t...

This looks amazing Herb, I’m getting more and more tempted with the acoustic build I must say. I look forward to seeing some more pictures of this build.

I had just finished my first electric guitar build at home and was between projects when Mark announced his Acoustic Guitar on-line course. With some fear and trepidation I enrolled and ordered his ki...

I have a Bailey acoustic kit waiting to be built. My workbench is in a small room in the garage - I needed to rearrange the room to get the build board in - also I added a ceiling, secondary glazing a...

Better pics - no covers on cavities still - just need another polish... Attachment : 31D68B3E-2D3C-4DE3-8B96-4AA4618406BD.jpeg Attachment : 1F344FD8-C45E-44D7-A4BF-D0CB326564D8.jpeg

The Dusenberg is really well made - the action is good but the guitar wouldn't stay in tune with it on - the bridge is a cheap one but the roller saddles seemed to work smoothly but just sometimes aft...

Yes - it was a Dusenberg - I was having tuning issues so normal tailpiece installed at present.
