Posted by: @rocknroller912 You’re not having much luck. Well , rather be unlucky now, then when the guitar is almost complete….Plus, I do learn a lot.. It’s ok, I will continue making braces and once the top is done, decide…   Read more»

@koendb  @Rocknroller912 has a good point, there’s likely to more challenges along the way. Glue it up and carry on regardless. When its ready to glue to the body, thats when to decide if its usable. At worst case you’ll…   Read more»

Posted by: @rocknroller912 It looks like the cracks are where the wood changes from heart to sap wood, unless it’s glue stain giving a darker colour. The dark spot is actually glue residu, from my glue up this morning, I…   Read more»

The crack pointed in red is also very prominently lifted, I can see and feel it sticking out.That…   Read more»

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I wonder if the bridge position on factory guitars is related to the nodal point on strings ie the stationery point which doesn’t move when a string is played. Good analysis of this point in the book…   Read more»

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I also wonder if the crack is in an area which will be covered by the bridge plate and X bracing these will be strong reinforcement I think. Well I still have a rectangular board, so I…   Read more»

£6 plus for a 35ml measure.

@rocknroller912 Holy moley 😳

@rocknroller912 yup. Sounds like a dream. 🙂 Plus I think my wife’s ancestry is over in Scotland.  I think it is on our bucket list anyway so….. two birds one stone? 🙂
