Martin style slot head
I'm going to give a try at posting images of a Martin style 00 12 fret slothead I just finished building.
[IMG] [/IMG] well, I obviously did that wrong, I'll go back and do some studying. I had tried to use photobucket, Last edited by Imbler; 03-14-2018 at 02:26 PM. Reason: got the pictures to post finally using postimage |

Bruce, if you click on the thumbnail you are interested in seeing, it gives the full image (at least for me).
Thanks for the feedback, I'll play around and see if I can get them to come out full size without needing to click on the thumbnails. Mike PS. Got it to work now - thanks for the feedback Bruce! Last edited by Imbler; 03-14-2018 at 02:26 PM. Reason: Got it to work |

I'm building an EIR/Carp 00 style 14 fret right now incidentally, with a S Cedar neck. Not sure if I am going to do a slot head yet or not. |

Which I also forgot. It is a Mark Blanchard double acting truss rod. They are really nice. Silver soldered so there is no weld to crack, and different threads at each end for a gear reduction effect. Good luck with your build. I think the EIR/Carpathian Spruce turned out to be a good combination sound wise. |

I love Spanish Cedar necks if for anything the smell it gives off when you work it.

Oh, yes. Love the smell, and it carves so easily. Supposedly, the shavings are used to make a tea in Brazil, but I haven't tried that yet,

The top was a little stiff when first strung up, but it is opening up pretty nicely and sounds good to me.
To be honest, though, this is literally the first acoustic I've played so my ears probably aren't refined (I play classical). I'll give it a little while to play in, then post a sound clip for the more experienced to weigh in on! |
