Official Luthiers Forum!

Josh and Paul
Welcome
The best site. I was a newbie one year ago, and without the help of this
awesome group I wouldn't be where I am today

The best resource is the knowledge of this group!!!!!!

Nicely done Michael -- I could use you to help me nail the monster Pike in my parents lake

Build from scratch, pre made neck, kit or fully serviced kit -- do whatever gets you in your comfort zone and go from there!

    Well! I guess I should post. I've been lurking for sometime but I havn't posted for obvious reasons. If my name was walnut or mahogany it might be different!

Doug Bubinga! Huhm!

That Name is Cool.

I'm just building a guitar with a Douglas Fir Top.

Geez you want to be careful with your hobby at the age of 94 RussellR38932.2876041667

Doug and Paul, welcome aboard guys!

Paul, like Hesh said, it ain't cheating, it looks to me like you will do anything to learn so it's all good!

Doug, i just love your family name, mine means Peartree so what are you afraid of? Fir is used for top plates on the guitar.

Have fun gents and ask them all, there ain't no stupid questions here but you might get stewpid answers from me!

Cheers

Heh, what about subscribing members who have never so much as posted a bio or a picture of their work?



I promise. After this next round of too much work subsides. (That's day-job work).

p.s. I've had discussions with Kevin this week at Access Cases about choosing between a Stage 3 or Stage 5 for the classicals I'm finishing up. Some dimension issues with the Stage 5 in the neck heel area. He's sending me a couple on approval to test them out. What a class operation!

Regards,

Jim
