Nice one James, looks great. I’m going to have to have a go at making one soon, everyone seems to be building acoustic instruments in recent times.

@robin No you have it right! The A course is only one string called the chanterelle. It s function is melody string. Because of esthetics, the peg and peg hole is made but does not have a real functio...

@koendb Thats looking great, an amazing amount of skill on show. An odd question though, theres eight pegs on the headstock, but I can only see seven strings at the bridge, is there one missing or j...

@koendb It looks truly amazing, I wonder what it sounds like. 😉

Thanks guys! Today I was able to take some better pictures... Attachment : 64AB7317-B40E-4E97-A904-C4CECE41AD3A_1_105_c.jpeg Attachment : 8E149E50-6797-41CF-A291-337A6FC8C9BA_1_105_c.jpeg ...

@koendb The most wonderful of wonderful things. 🏆🥇

@nsj Cheers Neil. Maybe one day I'll arrange to bring it up to show you when I'm up visiting my son. 👍 🎸🙏🎶🙂

@russ cracking job buddy

Bloody hell Russ! That's just made my evening! I've been away from this forum and my shed for too long but this post has spurred me on beyond belief. Thank you for taking the time to post this and to...

Cheers @clinton. 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Incredible and amazing Koen. And the guitar too.

You've got me interested in looking a bit more into this @koendb. Cheers. 🎸🙏🎶🙂

@russ these are actually real gut frets, the strings themselves are Nylgut , but the frets need to be real gut. I believe because nylon is too stretchy. It sounds surprisingly loud for such a small in...

Excellent work @koendb. Nylon string for the frets? A very interesting concept. How does it sound? 🙂🎶🙏🎸

Aaaand it is ready !😊😁 Attachment : IMG_1891.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1895.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1902.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1906.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1907...

That's an incredible piece of workmanship Koen, proper old-school skills, and it looks like a beautiful instrument at the end of it. You'll have fun playing that in the local bars ... 😉 Big, BIG WOW...

@koendb It’s stunning work, I’m so impressed. It’s definitely a whole different ball game to making electric guitars. Sure a lot of fundamental skills are the same but the tools and skill set required...

Yesterday , I finished the tuning pegs by cutting them to length and adding the string hole. This is done with a little jig. Basically a block of wood with a tapered hole to accept the pin and a 1.2mm...

That's the truth!
