Hey Lance...if you don't mind me asking, why do you use reverse-kerfed linings on the back, and traditional angled linings on the top? Just curious. Your work is so CLEAN...that's artful. |

Thanks guys, Bill, no reason, just cuz 
Hesh, that taped off back is a Malaysian Black wood E2 for HGF. I tape off the back before paring and sanding the braces to protect it from those nasty little sanding scratches. Also, no this is not sealed on the inside. |

Lovely clean work as usual, Lance, you really are the king of clean. One minor criticism if I may, that neck looks a bit thick

The Malaysian blackwood looks quite elegant ... great job on the bookmatching. I was looking at your neck joint -- I didn't realize you do them that way. Do you bolt your fingerboard extension down as well? Thanks for sharing Lance -- it's a joy to see such fine execution. |

Lance-- Thank you for sharing the photo's. I can only echo what everyone else is saying, "Man, that is clean work!" The cocobolo is certainly spectacular as it sits, its going to be unbelievable under a finish. |

Lance, You are quite a craftsman. That is about as clean an assembly as I have seen. I really like the way you sand the B&S to a shean! So you say you glue the braces down, clean the squeeze out then mask before shaving and sanding? |

King of Clean is right!! Very nice. Lance, do you not use and type of side braces? Ron |
|
| Author: | LanceK [ Sun Jan 14, 2007 7:18 am ] |
| Post subject: | |
Yup, its cocobolo. Ron, I dont use side braces except on dreadnoughts. Bigger flatter sides that are more flexable. |

[QUOTE=fmorelli] Lance, certainly pretty work  . The wood looks fantastic. Several have noted it is Cocobolo ... doesn't look like it to me - can you clarify what the back and sides are?
Filippo [/QUOTE] Yeah, it is coco... he got it from me.... It is one of the wildest pieces I have ever seen -- and quartersawn. |

OOPPS thanks Hesh. What do I know as I've only used two types of backs and sides - flamed big leaf maple and quilted 
Lance -- would be nice if you could explain you neck joint. |

Lance, that's looking really good. I wish my HGF guitars were that far along. |

Lance...In light of the reported gluing difficulties of Coco, what glue or method are you using? |
|
| Author: | Dave Anderson [ Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:00 am ] |
| Post subject: | |
Yes, Mr. Clean strikes again
Really nice work Lance and beautiful coco! |
