Although I didn't go through him for this this Michaud Made, he gave me many inputs and very high quality advice for this guitar. Marcus is very, very knowledgable guy you can trust 100%. If I ever need another high end, guitar I would just go through him ! |
Little update guys !!
The Rosette is now fully finished : https://i.imgur.com/rA1Oc1U.jpg the Bracing has been done on both the back and top as well : https://i.imgur.com/OyA9n2Y.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NXqa0q1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PiQn78c.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4807xmx.jpg Headstock is in the making : https://i.imgur.com/F9N78XN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TRv5j7q.jpg Stay tuned ! |
Wow, that Amazon rosewood is amazing. Looks like a gorgeous build!
|
I didn't realize that the long back brace doesn't actually touch the back of the guitar. Is this what is referred to as a floating back brace?
That blue metal has nice depth and luminosity, very cool. Beautiful woods. |
This is shaping up to be yet another beautiful build from Joel!
|
Yowza!!!
This is a BEAUTY indeed.
Huzza, huzza, and woohoo Paul |
Purdy, purdy, purdy! :)

https://i.imgur.com/jVtBXqp.jpg Joel notches both pieces, rather than relying solely on a glue joint to hold the structure. This way he gets mechanical stoppage. This is different than he believes how Jeff does it. At the start Joel reached out to Jeff that gave him his full permission to use the idea. In the end Joel wanted to make it his own anyway and came up with a new take that he believes would be superior to his needs. Hope that clarifies it |
Hey Grosskate and Marcus,
Thanks for the explanations and image on Joel's floating back brace. My Michaud guitar was built before he was using that technique. It is interesting to observe his evolution. |
Little update pics of the box being half closed :
