I have actually got to take the machine heads off guitar 3 and wax the rear and sides of the headstock, it will hardly notice that it isn’t done in the pictures so it is as good as complete.




So the guitar is rosewood back and sides, cedar sound board, holly binding, ebony bridge and finger board, Corian nut and saddle, mother of pearl inlay, ash pick guard, Ernie Ball regular slinky (2221) strings and the stand is custom made from poplar.
There is no point in doing a sound file right now as it needs to be played a bit at least. I will do the sound file in a couple of days time.
I must admit that I don’t like the strings, they are too light for my taste but the guy whom this is made for likes them and that is all that matters. I didn’t like the nylon strings when I first played them and now I really like them. So who knows I may grow to like the slinky strings yet.
On all three guitars I made a mess of the nut first time. I have now finally worked out how to get the nut right first time.
Well now I am working on sharpening tools and generally making sure all the tools I use are in good condition.
