The instructions mention use only one coat, is this brush painting on or spray coating?

Thanks @Rocknroller912 I think I'll probably put any vague ideas of making an acoustic to one side for now. I'm usually happy if I can an electric playing adequately, and that requires a whole lot le...

@tv101 Yes tap tuning. Some makers also tune the sound board after the sound box is assembled by tapping and listening to the vibrations. Then they scrape away shavings on the outside until they are ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 People often tune the back and front to a set interval, say 5th apart, C for the back and G for the front. Some use an electronic tuner and some do it by ear. Removing wood...

Brilliant film. I was multitasking but had to stop everything else to give it my full attention. Love the headstock carving with hand tools. Also the use of egg white to seal the soundboard was intere...

I *think* I've settled on a HB in the bridge position, with a standard Tele bridge but cut out for a HB rather than the usual Tele bridge p'up. Mainly because I think that'll give a neater option for ...

Beautiful views @boo Congrats on getting the move done. Hope it’s all you’ve hoped and planned for. And that you get the workshops / paint shops sorted out soon.

@tv101 Sorry to disappoint you, I am still around, not in prison. 😂 However, I have got my hands full with my new home in Scotland, no time for guitar building I’m afraid. I still don’t hav...

What an incredible film. Some great playing - I could listen to a lot more of that - and expert craftsmanship too. Interesting comment that each soundboard has to be tuned separately. I guess that’s ...

Beautiful - I added the link so you can watch it here - Thanks!

I made a documentary about building guitars some years ago - free on the tube for anyone interested
