Beautiful work Sir!
I like how the horns are rounded going into the body side. The volute looks very cool too.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Number 22
Just a thought, could you drill a small metal rod into the headstock just medially to the A string tuner, then use that as a pivot to get the D string to the correct side of the tuner? Like a string tree putting tension on a horizontal plane rather than a vertical plane.

Re: Number 22
Beautiful work as usual Lawrence. Stunning looking guitar. I have an Aria Pro II with a headstock like that and the strings seem to line up OK, Grover tuners.
Oh and another guess ... Brian May's guitar as a hollowbody?

So, after 22 builds, what have you learned? Pearls of wisdom please
I learned last week to actually refer back to my wonderfully produced Autocad drawing of the cab I was building.
I only wish I'd done that before I'd glued everything up, routed everything and glued the tolex on...
I've dropped some bollocks in my lifetime but this was a beauty
Cheap head cab that doesn't quite fit a Marshall DLS40C is available for purchase Of course now I have to wait for apres shutdown to get new materials...

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

This right here is the lesson...Dont Get Cocky. The headstock fail on 22 is the proof of that.Bg wrote:So, after 22 builds, what have you learned? Pearls of wisdom please

forget measure twice......Measure 4 times and than check t again . I made a heap of screwups on this gat...most of them I rescued and no one will know. I learn from every mistake...but I keep making them.
Those luthiers that only make 1 design...and its 99% of some classic fender or gibson - they have a safety net in that the original designers worked out the issues....Ive avoided that path. but it means I get a few hard knocks.
