I'm still using the Dremell with success ( For Now ) but I have to agree with what Martin has said.

Peter you have done it again :cl that top back and side combination is as you say. It sounds fantastic and looks fantastic. I have always shied away from ebony as I have been told that it can be very unstable and moves considerably I do use ebony bridge pins in my guitars but worry that over time th...

Hi Nick, I have been under the impression that the radius stiffens the top. So I would think that the radius would counteract the added tension more so than the flat top. Just my two bobs worth

Thanks Al, I wasn't aware of the rarity of Honduran I thought it was just the Brazillian that was valuable and rare, I should have researched before posting :oops: my excuse is that I concentrate on Domestic species :) That said , I am noticing variations in the grading of a lot of species that can ...

Thanks Bob and Pete, You have explained it perfectly.

Hi all, I have just been looking at Tim spittle's Honduran Rosewood Guitar Sets available now through this forum and lovely sets . What I see is sets with some mild wild figure although when it comes to "Indian rosewood" sets with this type of figure are being classed as A grade and only sets with a...

Hmmmm I believe there would be some nice EVO gold fret wire hiding in there somewhere. but I can't seem to see it

I am well aware of how Luthiers are being targeted by the rip off merchants, and I personally don't agree with the unmentioned Tassie supplier. Probably should not have mentioned that. This seems to have drifted way off topic. I asked a specific question. The answer appears to be no because the gui...

Curly I have tried smoking fish...... but the papers keep getting soggy and tearing

Are You Serious Peter ? I would suggest that you re read your post .

Don't you have any fish in your area that could smoked pete ?

I've noticed that there are a lot of new players on eBay peddling their wares to "Luthiers". And prices and their grading have gone bonkers. So, since when did something become 5A or 7A?
