Yep, they say Ben can sing too
. Apparently at Woodstock you got to experience his skill on the strings AND hear some of his vocal chops.
Ben sent me a series of pics of the build process of the neck. This isn't all of them, but it is some of them. This guitar build is moving along at a solid pace. This one could possibly set an AGF record of some kind for time from start to finish...we'll see. Frankly, not that I necessarily want to set a record, but all of us love to get a guitar done vs. laboring over a build for a LONG time. And yet, half of the fun of a build IS the build itself...having something CUSTOM built just for you....engaging with the builder...building a friendship. These are all essential elements of a custom build. Otherwise, we just buy a Taylor and be done with it huh??
Here 's a few:
The layout
The Stacked Heel
Heel blocks numbered before cutting. A proper orientation of these make for the best look.
Cutting the primary profile and volute with the World’s Scariest Router Bit.
