Official Luthiers Forum!

When I click on the guitar jigs link under our sponsors I get routed to a site called Sound Salon. It isn't an official site yet but is due to open next month.

Has guitar jig's url been redirected there? Does guitar jigs exist anymore?

Good question, Dave-
I just made the same observation in one of the binding jig threads..kinda funny to take down your website when the replacement isn't up, if you are still interested in doing business.

I tried the link and typing in the URL and got the same results.

IT looks like Mark Kett is a little faster than us. We were going to make the announcement that there was a new sponsor www.soundsalon.com once we did our maintenance and updated the guitar jigs link. I don't know what is to become of guitar jigs, but Mark asked us to change his link to sound salon. I also don't want to give it away, but Mark has been working on this for a very long time..

i hope he is still going to be offering his jigs. i have been lusting after on of his headstock jigs and would be grossly disappointed to find they ahve gone out of production.

I have checked out the new site and it is very nice. There are some good tutorials on building your own bending iron, top/back glue up board (must see for the simplicity and utility of it), and etc. There is a lot of potential.

It worked for me. I clicked on the Beta Site and filled out the info. They email a PW which I used and it worked. Looks like a cool site with some nice building ideas as Don A. described. I assume it will have more content once the site is officially opened in March.

I'm on the beta too. Very cool stuff, and will have some articles on how to use my jigs soon. Have a couple of jigs in the works now that will be released soon.

There is a good tutorial on there for beveling bound fret boards, how funny is that

Nice site, looking forward to more there.

I just tried again and still can't get in. Is there a secret handshake or something?

Hesh, I did follow the link, register and receive a username/password. But every time I try to log in it just clears the screen and reloads the login box again.

Just plain wierd if you ask me.

I was finally able to log in. Looks like it has the makings of a very nice site. I didn't do anything different that I can tell, it just let me in this time.

I couldn't be hapoier for one of the really good guys out there.
Mark has built several jigs for me, including the endgraft template jig (2 of them one went to someone on olf) and maybe have the only straight m and t jig that is really big and nice. it does the fingerboard, neck angle and other things. His stuff is and I hope he stays in the business with them the best out there. I am going to get the trojay when and if (sure hope so) starts that part up again. You get what you pay for if not get more than expected with Marks tools.
