Figured we'd need to wait a bit, since this is really a spec "filler" build. Glad you'll get to continue with it. Let us know if there's anything else we can vote on!

I would have committed: if it wasn't for the unfortunate bracing incident.
nacluth's Avatar nacluth nacluth is offline AGF Sponsor Join Date: Mar 2010 Posts: 550 Default Ok, well time's up. So Fazool had his curve fan vote, the rest of the US had double X votes except for Chicagoland which had 473 votes for standard bracing. By geographical area, the double X carries it. Thanks for all who voted this time. I'm sure I'll have something more as I continue working today. __________________ Ryan Kinnaird SJ - Walnut/Sitka Kinnaird Guitars - from the oldest town in Texas Reply With Quote Hmnnn.... Chris

Yeah the tragic post #49 stays with us still. Hopefully we can overcome this misstep and knock the rest out of the park.
I will say our double-X fan club is pretty prolific with their praises, I foresee only a theoretical disappointment with the vote, not an actual one. I'll have more for you tomorrow. |

Now Steve,...
Do you really have any doubt that this will sell (if Ryan ever finishes it)? PLUS as a self-proclaimed "marketing guy," I think the concept of the thread is really good for business. YRMV... Chris

I kinda want to commission a Kinnaird just so I can get a smartass thread like this.

But since this has been built by the electorate, I thought it would be fun to sell it that way. And I'm gonna cast the first vote: I vote for Lizzard to buy this guitar. Do I hear a second? |

That said, I've never been to Texas, so that could be a good reason for a trip.

So maybe one more vote is in order...but first here's a shot of the newly labelled instrument.
Now, I'm going to need to rout the body for the bindings soon, and that will call for a butt wedge (or end wedge if you're polite). Keeping to the fast and cheap ideal of the F1 model, I threw together 3 quick and dirty options yesterday for you to select from. I couldn't get the lighting just right (ok I didn't really try). I just grabbed some random Indian Rosewood and shoved it against some wood. But you get to decide what species to use: Option #1: Texas Ebony - to match the rosette Option #2: Bocote - to match the bindings Option #3: African Ebony - to match the peghead Now before you just go off and hit the reply button, remember that there are no purflings on this instrument. The Bocote bindings will run directly over the sides and the end graft (getting fancy) with no delineation. It will look fine with any of these, but which will look best? You decide. I'll call it at 2pm central. |

I like them all but #2 (forgive me) is a great visual match.
I may buy this guitar, but only If i can sleep on YOUR couch!!
