My First Custom-Bailey and Sons Handmade Guitars
I just wanted to show off my first custom build that should be ready in about a month. It is a Bailey and Sons MJ with an Adirondack top and EIR back and sides. The binding is maple and so is the back joint. I went with Gotoh 510 tuners and a JJB Electronics Prestige 330 Pickup that was custom built to my specs.
The measurements of the guitar are: Upper Bout - 11.25 Lower Bout - 15.375 Waist - 9.625 Body Depth at Neck - 3.5 Body Depth at Tail - 4.5 Body Length - 19.625 Overall Lenth - 39.75 Which makes it about the size of a Webber RB. For more pictures go to http://www.kindredspiritquartet.com/guitar.htm http://www.baileyguitars.com/acoustic_guitar_info.html Check Bill out.. He is a great christian guy, extremely helpful and does a great job. I would like to thank Larry (ljguitar), Woody and Bill (Broadus) for all the help and wisdom before and during the building of this guitar. |

Hi Kendall...
Love the symmetry & shape of the body, and I'm anxious to hear how it sounds. |

Woohoo, Kendall! Looks great. Can't wait to see the finished product and see it up close and personal. And just when I thought I had G.A.S. firmly in check.
BTW, is the scale length 24.9", nut width 1 3/4", and bridge string spacing 2 1/4"? My photographic memory is in fade mode. Congratulations! Bill |

Update
This past week I stopped by and talked to Bill about the guitar. It's not finished yet but should be before the end of the month. I need to brag on Bill, the craftmanship of this guitar is awesome. He has really taken his time and the guitar is beautiful. I will post pictures as soon as I have it.

I told him not to rush. I'm ok with what I have for now. I'm still going to pick up a CA GX for outside playing. Wood does crazy stuff in constant temp and weather changes.... |
