Whatever you are doing it is working!!!

Thanks Luthiers!!! You make the world a more musical place...

Paul

They float free as a bird

Well, all of us wondered what you were doing in your spare time

Looks like two classy guitars to me. A shame one of them isn't mine, but maybe I'll be able to get another one of these days! Congrats on the great work. That lattice bracing looks cool and compelling. Does it lighten the guitar also?

And then we'll go cat go.

Or something rhythmic and musical like that.

I'll be watching this thread with interest John ... that persimon looks interesting and I love the look of Black & White ebony!

thank you David

[Steve Kinnaird]

Oh you know they will be. But why not write some new lyrics?
The luthier's version of Blue Suede Shoes...

[Steve Kinnaird]

Alright, I've been humming this all afternoon:

Well it's one for the money,
Two for the dough,
Three to get ready
For the luthier show...

Is that more better?

[Zandit75]

More is always better!!!**









**Unless we're talking about bagpipes.....

I like it.
how about this..
three to get ready
if I dont work too slow?

That seems so apt in my case

In midstream so to speak I decided to put symmetrical back bevels on this thang. So some of the lining had to be chiseled out and replaced with large tentallones.

nothing difficult is ever easy. But those bevels have to have support.

[Guitars44me]

John may well be the Bevel King. I Know!!!

Woohoo

Paul

[TomB'sox]

Looks like a lot of work to me too! Should be really comfortable though! You should know Paul, you have more bevels per guitar than anyone I know!
