And your point is @TV1010101....?

Twang! Awesome. Can you tell me what you think of these grubby black marks on the lacewood sides? Seems to be part of the wood, but looks like it's been down't'pit.

1- I'm redoing my barrel nut holes with some plugs to get a better aligned anchor for the bolts. Made a wee jig to hold the neck in the drill press for these scary 10mm holes. Will re-assess bridge cl...

How funny. remember when I showed up for my BYO number 4 in 2005, and wanted a Macaferri.... you were like... nah man that's not how we make an acoustic flattop bridge. IRONY

There is this horrible feeling of quickly devaluing the worth of one's bit of wood with every ever-escalating disaster potential. I don't like it! I have made a f*ck*ng pig's ear of getting my neck bo...

I think I should prioritise getting the neck and soundboard flat, given that my fingerboard is only 5.55mm thick. Nothing I have done with sanding the upper bout area on the soundboard has affected th...

I still have a feeling that you are closer than you think but I cannot see what is going on in the pics - they are too small...can you do a bigger version of that last pic?

How do these data guide the soaking time for bending sides and final back thickness? Absolutely no idea...but... I have used Lacewood (London Plane) for sides and the bending was not a problem - V Ea...

Cheers. Meant to say too that it is a 19" body based on a small 1950's Gibson with this beautiful shape. Couple of areas of novice mistakes however- one of my back braces must not have been flat on th...

Thanks - it's a pleasure! Great pics - damn she is looking beautiful..

Well on the way now. Roseline (of Roslin) guitars lives! Thanks to team Bailey for holding my hand via all the amazing videos and attention to communications. Scarf jointed maple neck and truss rod a...

Progress thanks to the bad weather. Making the ancillary bits and bobs and have ordered all the parts to finish the guitar. Decided on stain colour. Not green!!!! Attachment : IMG_20200211_154844[...

Oh Wow excellent John. Favourite colour for an archtop has to be heritage cherry red. Attachment : es-335-2016-hd-4-111129.png

Green was my favourite colour for guitars once - I was going to call my company 'Green Guitars' - and they were all going to be green...glad I didnt'! I have some green color tone stain if you want to...

You were right Mark. Side dots only. Frets next. Been experimenting with water based dyes on scraps from the original body wedges but don't think the maple will "pop" like the really flamed guitars do...

Looks really good!
