Re: Passing on the addiction

You are lucky he has such an interest. I have tried to get my son into guitar building but he has no interest at all.
It would be great to have all the time together in the shop but It's just not for him. Like John Hall said...cherish the time together. :D

Re: Carved es 335

I love 335's and I love sunbursts so I definitely love this guitar! I agree with all the others who approve of your fine burst and fine fit and finish.
Well, now I must put one of these on my "to build" list. I can see why you are so happy.
Congratulations Paul-fine work.

Re: Suggestions for acoustic pickups

I've installed a number of the K&K mini/western and I have the Trinity System-2 channel in my
own L-OO. They are an excellent pickup system for acoustic guitar IMO.

Hey thanks guys. I tried some of the 3m spray adhesive recommended by Dennis Leahy and it seems to have worked very well.

I want to glue on some teflon material like the stuff Stew Mac uses to make small "dams" to keep glue out of your fret slot. I need to know what kind of glue to use to glue this teflon to the woo...

It's a fine little plane for brace shaving and other small tasks Lillian. It's very light
and easy to make but I have no time for that, so I bought one ...30 bucks I think it was.
