Congrats on your commission with JK Jamie. Had a chance to audition a couple of his at Woodstock and was duly impressed. He builds some fine instruments.
Beautiful piece for the back. A new tonewood to me. Thanks for the lesson. I’ll be following along too. This will be fun.

NO I did not know that!!!! Great, that guitar is lovely and the timing of my ownership was just not right, I had a few medical things come up right at that time and needed to let it go. It is so beautiful with all the mammoth ivory, the neck inlay....I really do hope you love it. The live edge koa headstock on that guitar is still my favorite of all time!!!!

How exciting it must be for a forester to get a guitar made!

Rog, yes it is...trees rock! I have been fascinated with them all my life. But then, I think all of us here are in awe of what incredible things are possible with wood and steel, and amazed that different woods can have such different sonic character, and most of us find it difficult to have just one guitar. I feel very privileged to be able to commission a project like this.

Our builds are siblings...
Hey Jamie
John has another custom on the bench for me right now, too! Maple/Cedar, with big bevels and port, and lots of cool design ideas, from John and myself. I do not believe you can go wrong with a JK! The four I have experienced and the three I own are OUTSTANDING INSTRUMENTS. Yours will certainly be a sweetheart! Cheers Paul

Hi Jamie, congratulations on your commission. Obviously, I'm a fan of my brother's work, and I believe you will be thrilled with the outcome!
And what a cool set of wood... This will be fun to watch. Steve |

I guess this is John Kinnaird laminated sides day! Here is a photo of 5 layers of Spanish Cedar being applied to one side.

So that is a laminated solid Kerfing, not really laminated sides as you wrote, right? If I am lucky enough to be right about that, I am wondering about how wide they are, looking almost like an inch and a quarter wide vs. normal slotted kerfing which always appears about 3/8 to 1/2 inch wide?

Second time I've heard someone talk about 'solid kerfing'. Kerfing is the procedure of cutting slots in the linings to make them flexible. The slots are the kerfs so solid kerfing is nonsense. (Good job Howard's not around at the moment. )
This is a laminated (solid) lining and I would guess that the laminations are glued together, but not glued to the side so John can take it off and cut it in half to make two before gluing them in. |
