Official Luthiers Forum!

I'm always curious about suc things, so I thought I'd ask!

I really don't know the exact figure. because the fist year that I built I did not keep a serial number record on non-commissioned or reject guitars, but with in one or two I am at 28 after four years. The serial number going on the current OM on the bench will be 2005-0025

I'm into the 120 range of numbers with the instruments now under construction.

30-35 or so

Quickly approaching 50 and I might break that barrier this year ???

Right at 200 acoustics. I have made a few electrics and carved tops and
the total is 228 so the 200 is a good estimate of flat top instruments
only.

89 counting all guitars, flat, arch and Classical. Can I count in the 25 fiddles, 40 harps, 40 hammered dulcimers, 150 mountain dulcimers and 20 or 30 other things?

About 36 mostly OMs resonators and parlours,seem to be spending more time jig making these days

Jigs are all I have completed this winter . It has been a very wet winter and I live in an area that humidity control is not normally an issue. This year has been an unusual. The OM I have on the bench was started in November and has gone almost nowhere. But a lot of prep work is complete and waiting on assembly. Now if the weather will just be constant for three or four weeks in a row .MichaelP38425.6917824074

Alan, you are the only person I know to have made the Hammered Dulcimer. There is a gal in Asheville, North Carolina, her name is Carol. She can tear that instrument up, never will forget the times I heard her play hers. Thanks for bringing up the name of the instrument, made my day and makes me want to dance a jig.

1 completed and 3 more almost there.

Somehow Bruce I imagine you dancing a jig everyday down the hill to your shop.

I do John, except when I have a hitch in my get-a-long.

I completed 5 in my first year of building. Numbers 6-9 are in progress.

I'm new here, but number 15 and 16 are on the workbench.

I think I have numbers 12-15 on the bench right now. It's heartening to hear how many some of you guys have built. Makes me think that after I get another 10 or 20 under my belt mine will start to look as good as some of yours.

I've built 2 ukuleles. Does that equal one acoustic guitar?
