Kwasnycia Brazilian AdI Jumbo
Happy new year!! and yes, it has been a while since I have posted a build. My client agreed to let me post this one of his build and has is under way.
So the details: -Adirondack Spruce top, one of the nicest I have seen, especially for a Jumbo. -Brazilian Rosewood back and sides -Maple binding on body and neck -Brazilian sound hole ring with Abalone shell. -Fret markers to be determined. -Gold Evo frets -Rear headstock plate It's an under stated build, but I anticipate one with killer tone! http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pszuammuyx.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psbj0tthed.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pshfyrlysy.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psgqublo7q.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pspaksqvvf.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps5rbtw4g1.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psa1vmcltu.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psdmu399ki.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps877xmtmq.jpg |

Looking good, Dennis. I've missed seeing one of your builds documented here. I always find them inspiring.
|
Beautiful, Dennis. A question: Do the braces ever want to slide a bit when you do the vacuum process or do they stay exactly in place while the air is being pumped out?

Hey Dennis,
Glad to see you posting and I will be watching this one. Looking great so far. I know how hard it can be to stop, take a photo when you are in the mode. I often miss chunks of the process. Anyway, it will be great to watch this one come together. (Love the vacuum fixture.) |
Hi Dennis, nice to hear from you again. Looks like it's going to be another great build! Regarding the laminated sides, did the client specifically request that or is that part of your builds?

As for the vacuum press, I have been using it now for almost 17 years. One for backs and one for tops. |
Nice work, Dennis. I'll be following this one.
