@tv101 With poor state of my fingers at the moment, calling anything after them is sure to end in failure. For your carve top I would rough out the carving with a cnc but do the final finishing with ...

That is a nice looking guitar!

@bpower Beautiful looking guitar, superb work. 👍

Well... I thunk it's time to start another build. I just had some parts come in. Not everything I need yet but most if it. Just want to let it sit in my shop for a bit before starting the project to l...

@robin good thought, hmmmmn...maybe....have to ponder that for awhile...thanks <><

@poco7 sounds like the neck angle is the problem. Can you re set it

@poco7 thanks for these tips

@poco7 I'm at a loss here for ideas..if i sand and lower the saddle, i'll have NO break angle to the tail piece and fighting buzzing on the cover Rather than lowering the saddle, is there any possi...

I’m guessing here - I’ve never even played a Resonator let alone built one … Is the neck angle on a Resonator set differently to a standard acoustic (eg your donor guitar)? In which case modding an ...

@russ nah, it's only small pieces of wood that put my back out, I'm fine with big bits lol

@poco7 Are you thinking maybe removing the fretboard and building up the neck? like a taper? From your descriptions, my first thought was to remove the fretboard board and raise it up. I hadn't con...

Maybe

@poco7 I’d love to help you out if at all possible but I have no experience with resonators or slide guitars yet. I’m also a visual learner so I must be able to see what the problem is, I don’t really...

@robin Are you thinking maybe removing the fretboard and building up the neck? like a taper?

@tv101 maybe the string bar idea...not sure about the matal working idea...hmmmn, have to ponder this...Robin suggested...see note....a rise of the neck,,,mabe under the fretboard?...thinking....than...

I think the general consensus is that the neck angle is set for an acoustic bridge, and therefore is too shallow for the resonator. You've therefore got the option of fixing the root cause (resetting ...

@markbailey, @rocknroller912,@tv,@russ,@boo,@koendb Rather than lowering the saddle, is there any possible/practical way of raising the neck? Great question,,,i think it's at the root of the problem. ...

Operation f**k this is a go! Ooft that was a heavy beast! Taking it to a mates tomorrow to slab it. Attachment : 20230228_164809.jpg
