Building one of those small guitars with only six strings

[flo]

I forgot to mention this (I didn't forget it actually, I didn't dare to say it yet cause I might mess this up badly):

I'm planning to make some wooden pickup coves from the same wood as the fingerbord

The bridge will be made from Wilkinson saddles on a metal plate. That's at least half-way paying attention to helferlains advice

It looks already reall cool. I would be interested to hear the attack and bass control on this build. The neck/upper part connection is very long, and I would like to know the effect on the sound.
Cheers!

Happy you like it

Yeah the connection between the body and neck is quite strong, witch should lead to a stiff overall construction with a well-defined bass, and an even sustain. But the woods on the other hand are rater light and resonant, which I think should open up the sound again. Let's see what wins!

So? Where are the Parts, still somewhere in a yellow truck, on the bench or on the guitar?

 

[flo]

Well, some of the parts are sold out, they sad it should take 2-5 days to get them. A week ago

I've done some minimal progress though with the trussrod, glued two stripes of carbon fiber together with some epoxy glue.




Feel free to add tags in the meantime if you are bored....

Looking great man! I'm sure I'll be back in this thread asking a few questions for my similar build haha

And on the other side of the pond I'm ready to shoot myself from waiting for stuff to dry.

Thomann... last time I bought machine heads I waited for a months as they were sold out. Wrote them a mail & was told they might arrive a week or so later and would then be send immediately... they arrived three days later. I'm still sure they just lost the order somewhere in their system and didn't want to admit it. Fuck this, two of the most interesting projects with little to no progress (this includes scherzo's guitar... @scherzo: put that gun down ).

You have done a nice job but i think you should try a flap disc on a grinder to save a bit of time if you make another!

This. With some patience and practice, these things are a godsend.

 

[flo]

Thank you all for the motivation

I'll go to my workshop today and see what I can do without the missing parts. Stay tuned for an update within the next few days.

Scherzo, if you shoot yourself I'll be seriously angry at you!! You'll be in deep trouble, I promise
