Thanks for the report!
Close as I am, I couldn't make this one.

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Thanks!
I haven't played very frequently for over 25 years, but an empty nest and being laid-off cleared some time . I just posted another example without the capo, and practicing some finger style:

Take care!

Re: Chair repair & refinishing
That's super! Maybe some 'mates' to that lone chair will show up, too ?

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
In review, I made one of the smaller guitar sizes so that the guitar sound is in a different part of the spectrum from my voice. I've had a cold for the last few days.

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Thank you! Knowing myself, another build could happen in the future. It's always true that one can see ways to improve! Regarding trimming pieces to fit (after the assembly), part of this was due to my parsimony and stubbornness. I never made molds for the guitar body, so I was a bit lower in materi...

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
I had to do a lot of learning on (re-) fretting. Here, correct tools are really key. Fortunately, not too expensive. The main thing I found helpful was getting the fret wire, fret press blanks, and fret sanding blocks all at the same (14") radius. That took care of many problems. Out of 18 fret...

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Thanks! I'm just starting some frets, and the slot depth is fussier than I had expected. Just some more learning to do. I decided to string the thing up with just 3-4 frets installed. It actually does play pretty decent first-position chords. Further work on the nut height (which is currently shimme...

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Hi Ed, As it is I don't have a lot of expertise. In fact I have a lot of fear since there's even some lore about non-truss-rod Martin guitars having their neck curvatures adjusted by the insertion of different fret widths within a given width of wood slot(s)! So... (1) is just by eyeball. (2.). is c...

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Continuing on; The scarf-jointed angled headstock has visible glue lines and non-matching woods. So, a cover veneer is needed -- glued on, and then later trimmed to shape: IMG_7372.jpeg The rosewood fingerboard needs about 17-18 fine slots with the finest saw I have. I made up a custom little miter ...
