I started this one a few months ago and then set it aside as I concentrated on the Redwood twins. Now that there both done I'm going to be working on the 12 fret dread and the Italian Zircote L1. The dread is Black Acacia with a Carpathian Top. Thanks

Hey Lance, Counting from the top, number 2 down has it. It is a great shot. Use that one in promotions. Whoever shot it got the lighting perfect. The shadows show your work off beautifully! Steve Brown |

Very nice Lance and the workmanship is your normal perfection. Can't wait to see that wood with a finish on it keep posting pics. |

Frankly, I'm shocked. I can't believe you left a little spec of wood inside that dread when you snapped that picture. I can't believe it! No Way!

Nice guitar, Lance, but don't you think you sanded the top a little thin? I can almost see through it in that first picture with the thermometer.

Lance, I'm gonna start subcontracting my finish prep to you, how much do you charge for a pre-clean and prep? Great looking guitar!! |

Lance, That is some super clean work! I can not get my brace pockets to fit so perfectly. And, not a drop of glue to be found anywhere! Well done! Jeff |

Thanks Jeff - From my very first guitar I committed my self to do tip top clean interior work, the only trick that I have found for doing perfect brace pockets is to take my time, measure, fit and refit, over and over until there all perfect. Jeff Babic has a cool little tool in the last issue of Guitar Maker that I tried this time, its a block of wood with a pocket cut into it to the exact depth as your lining pockets, then you line the block with PA abrasive and sand the brace ends until the block bottoms out on the plate, this puts you very close to perfect. You can then set your dremel too to the depth of this pocket and cut the pockets in your linings. Here is a quick shot of my version.

Jeff, read the article in the last isue of guitar maker mag about cutting these brace pockets. Also, I used to have trouble with chip out (from router bit) around the pocket in the kerfing but if you use a piece of tape on both sides of the pocket it will help. |
