Sounds great, beautiful guitar.

I cant believe how good your repairs are, serious skills!

Geez, they are all great, I like the hounds tooth the most. The airbrushing looks amazing too.

Looks good mate, I like the bridge shape.

Wow I'm the slowest builder out there!

Sorry but Im wearing that crown right now mate. 2 years since I packed up my workshop for a new house build

You must be itching to get back into it then! How long until the house is finished?

Col

This is such a nice looking guitar, you have made some beautiful instruments Martin, I really like your style.

Col

That looks awesome, love your work.

Col

Looking really good, they are going to be great.

Cheers Col - over the moon with how she turned out

How does it sound, pretty good I bet?

Col

Nice, you have to be bloody happy with that, looks amazing.

Col

Martin, Thanks for the reply. Presumably you set the blade angle to plus and then minus 5 degrees - I see this OK, but how do you get the 1 degree back angle - do you use the table saw? Mitch Mitch Most saws will only tilt in one direction, so you cant go minus 5 degrees, you need to flip the work ...

Great little guitar, well done.

Col

I agree with Allen, it might be QLD Maple, it does have that look about it. QLD Maple does have a very distinct smell about it when cut.

Col

It is a 2 volume set, one of them is the 'Design' volume and one of them is the "Build" volume.

Col

I'm in Brisbane and always interested in anything Lutherie!

Col

Top notch as usual! Are you moving away from your old head stock design? I have to say I liked the previous one a little bit more. I do like the heal and cap design that you have recently changed too, even though the way you used to continue the heel cap into the back was awesome.

Cheers

Col

awesome!
