@robin Thats great. Thats what I was thinking and what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!

@robin that’s what I was thinking. Maybe they just taped it on so it won’t get lost in transit. Thank you. This has been very helpful!

@robin Sure thing. This is the truss rod I have:

@robin I have seen luthier Ted Woodford do something like that in a video (which I can’t find now, among all his videos). Basically, he drilled a tiny hole where he wanted the strap button to be located. He then…   Read more»

@robin so wind count affects how sensitive your pickup will be, but the pattern in which it’s actually wound? Not so much… magnet type is another factor. There’s alnico 2,5,8 and ceramic, and they all have different tonal properties.  …   Read more»

The guitar sounds great on the wee video @robin. If you’re moving from Falkirk to Dumbarton you should get yourself signed up for the course at Anniesland. It’s only about a 20 minute drive. I’ll be down in Falkirk today…   Read more»

@robin Ah very nice. When sorting through your stuff, be ruthless. I did it with 20 years of stuff and quite a bit of what I’ve brought here, I’ve ended up getting rid of.  Keep the most sentimental stuff, the…   Read more»

@robin Link works – guitar sounds great! Awesome job -thanks for posting!

@robin
Yep I remembered after I posted that so I edited my comment 🙂 Sorry my bad memory…

@robin Oh no! You are moving house? 😱 I know all the ins and outs of that. 😂 
Are you moving to another area or same region? 

@robin Yeah, I think you are right on all accounts there. I think the little metal clamp will do me for now but WHEN I get around to a proper acoustic build, I will definitely invest in the long reach…   Read more»

Great job @Robin – thanks for your kind words and for sharing the pics for us all to admire. Maybe you can upload the vid to youtube or elsewhere and just drop the link here so we can watch? Anyhow…..   Read more»

@robin That looks marvellous. Great effort Robin, you must be proud of yourself, well done. I love an acoustic with a cutaway. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience, that’s what it’s all about. 

Really nice work there @robin. A cutaway for your first acoustic guitar build is a big challenge that you have really mastered. Excellent job well done. 
🙂🎶🎸🙏

@robin Lovely guitar Robin, that finish gives a nice sheen and brings out the grain.
Congratulations on a fine piece of work👍😃🎸

@robin Looks great Robin, well done!!👍😃
More photos please, I’d like to see how that finish looks, I’m a nosey beggar🤣🤣👍😃🎸
 
 

@robin All of a sudden – a guitar! Well done, and thank you for the documentation of the whole build.
I hope I can gain the courage to build an acoustic some day.

@robin Yeah ok, that sounds good.  The one I have here and the one you are passing on to me, they will just be campfire guitars. If they don’t play well around the campfire then I can throw them on…   Read more»

@robin If you don’t want it, I’ll have it.

Cheers @robin. I really must have a go at trying to make some.
