Hey everyone,
Yea, it is not a guitar, but probably a more important build. After screwing up yet again, on my latest guitar, I decided it was time to stop and make a good mold. I think this is called a coffin mold, but I am not sure. It will completely contain the sides to keep everything properly aligned. I have been working off of an open workboard, and I just can not get things correctly done.
My latest pictured below, henceforth know as the "Dreadical", looks like a classical from the front, and a dread from the back. The reason? I did not properly set the upper bout sides at 90 degrees when I glued up the top. I managed to pull both sides in about 1/4 inch, thus taking away the nice curves of a classical when viewed from the back. Chalk up another one for the island of misfit guitars.
Jeff
