Very nice work Hesh!  How are the go-bar pipes secured to the top and bottom?

Woah, Hesh, am I proud of you!  Did you have to dig that out of your dust collector and sprinkle it in place, or was that really from trimming the top to size?

WOW Hesh you are on a roll!  She is looking good. I cant wait to see how you adorn the guitar with the bindings and purflings. I hope you are planning something special since this is braz ??


 


I love to hum in by boxes too. Gives me a clue on how it is going to sound when it is strung up.

Hesh - another beautiful job.  I will wait (im)patiently for the rest of the updates.....can you refresh my memory on where you got the BRW?  That is EXACTLY what I want when I get a set - sapwood, nice bands of colour, etc...


Thanks for sharing,


Laurie

Hesh--

The guitar is looking great and its godd to have you and your posts back. You have a little detail on the turn-buckles that I am going to adopt and that is the directional marker. I confuse left for right, right for left on about everything but the cap on a bottle of Mad Dog!

Hesh,

Buy two more squares of plywood and build the go-bar deck just like your picture. Get a heavy duty lazy susan bearing from rockler or equal and mount it to your workbench. Spin it to any area you need access.
