Hi all!
I've been taking the scenic route through life and had to put guitar building to the side for a while - you *might* remember the acoustic 8-string I built for Tosin Abasi back in 2012.
I've been working my arse off lately to finally be able to put food on the table with my building skills (designing models, estimating production prices, getting loans and whatnot...)
All the while, I took out parts that I started work on circa 2012 and decided I should have fun with them - no-one is waiting for this build, after all!
I'll delve into all the technical details and build steps as the time passes (I'm filming a video comparison of the sound qualities of my small acoustics in the coming week) but for now...
ALL HAIL THE NO GLUE/NO NAILS/NO SCREWS NECK JUNCTION!
You read that right - this is simply a wood on wood assembly and it uses no other mechanical attachment techniques/parts. Everything comes apart nicely and I'll even be able to make new bodies to see how they react/sound!
Also, here are top and back shots to get you started :
See you soon, guys!
