@tyreman he's really sound too, very helpful.

Coming along very nicely @tyreman. It'll be very interesting to see how this prototype stands the test of time. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Attachment : 20230815_170418.jpg Well, there's a funny thing. I switched it on (still no bang), the little light on the front shone brightly and the valves slowly built up a nice amber glow. Plu...

Bare knuckle pickups are really something else. Wow!

Nice work @tyreman! That is going to be an awesome build 🙂

Once the sides and blocks were glued together I radiused the edges of the sides on the radius dishes. 28' for the edge to be glued to the soundboard.... Attachment : PXL_20221118_101450916.jpg ...

Then I plane on the radius of 20 foot using the shooting board. Attachment : PXL_20221222_111323781.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221222_111206068.jpg 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then plane the edges flat on the shooting board. Attachment : PXL_20221104_120832643.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221104_101554408.jpg 🎸🙏🎶🙂

Hi All, this will be a sloooow build as I can only work on the guitar a couple of hours a week. Nevertheless here we go. After some research I decided on a Benedetto Archtop for several reasons: 1) p...

My favourite song today is one I play with one of my bands, the John Spijker Trio.

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... 🎶🎸🙏🙂

My favourite song today:

We’re trying to design assembly techniques that emulate methods Gibson pioneered in the 40s, but without building a factory full of heavy engineering. Here’s the best tour video I’ve seen on the Memph...

@tyreman I start working again on the renaissance guitar in september. If I find the time, I will start sanding for finishing before that. I just have too many things on my plate at the moment.

Made some progress today. First I've cut the fingerboard a bit shorter and narrower and with my router made it to 6 mm thickness. And sanded it flat. Attachment : image.png Attachment : ima...

Some time ago I was asked to build a Tele style for a friend of a friend. He wanted specific natural wood body finish and C profile neck. It was all new to me so I asked him to buy all the hardware. T...

Wow this looks amazing, keep it up.

Nice! Looking forward to see the progress 🙂 Make sure to think about things thoroughly with a neck through, cause it aint easy to use a bandsaw , for instance, once the sides are glued in place.

Great start @tyreman. Keep those pictures coming. 🎶🙂🎸🙏
