Official Luthiers Forum!

For anyone who'd like to view a build in progress I've set up a web page for my customer so he can see what's going on without having to send emails back and forth all the time.

You can see the progress pics Here.

Just closed up the box yesterday. This one taps like it is going to be a cannon!

Nope. Customer decided after he saw the closed up box that he wanted to keep it natural.

Dave, great work! I really like that maple as well. Should look very stunning with the Koa binding... I actually hadn't thought about that combo... I might have to ...borrow that one...

Great idea to have a progress shoot like that for your client... Keep up the great work!

That Maple, Koa combination really is sharp. Nice work Dave.

Thanks guys! And don't forget to check back every now and then. The pics will keep coming as the build progresses.

BTW, credit where credit is due, I stole the page layout from Mario's great website. Made a few changes and turned it into a customer web page.

Very nice Dave. Website layout looks very good. I like the here's how and what I build pictoral essay. Keep up the good work.

Looks great!

Thanks Ron! I think customers like to kinda watch over your shoulder while their guitar is being built. This is an easy way to do it without having someone actually in your shop while you're working. It also clues them in a bit on how much work is actually going into it.

Hey Scooter, you need to drop by sometime so we can talk about guitars for a while.
