Re: Going to build a new "old" guitar

Great piece of work, Grant! Seems a shame to drill holes in it.

Other than that, spent part of the day trying to learn how to sharpen and use gravers. Will need to do a bunch of engraving on brass for the plates on the tuners. Any tips would be appreciated.

Nice work, Joe. By the way, what's that red thing at the kid's feet?

Re: Thermally Modified Dread

Grant, I totally agree with you - different strokes for different folks. i don't know how much difference the glitter stuff makes anyway. I only built my first guitar without it. Plenty of great sounding guitars have been built without it. For all I know it could be a waste of time! Stringfest . . ....

Re: Thermally Modified Dread

Interesting. I've never seen that. 'Course I've never seen a bracing pattern like yours either, and that's a good thing.

I wonder if he was feeding too much power. Dunno.

Re: Thermally Modified Dread

Grant,

That's coming along great! I still marvel at your bracing pattern. I'd love to do some Chladni voodoo on one of your tops, just out of curiosity, see what kind of "fingerprint" they have.
