Great to see Martin that you have completed the house build and now enjoy the final product. Also looking forward to seeing your workshop in action with a new guitar build. I have only built one guitar earlier in the year and then have spent the time renovating all of the house, plus now going throu...

Looking forward to seeing this guitar build progress.

Looks amazing Trent. Recently I had an enquiry from a local music shop that was interested in the falcate bracing idea for a bass guitar just like your posting. I be interested to know how it sounds and your comments on building / design aspects.

Hi Dave I would also recommend that you should use T&G book methods. To help you using visual analyser Trevor / Robbie O'Brian has produced a video set that demonstrates how to setup and use these methods. I purchased the videos online from Robbie O'Brian and found this very helpful when setup the c...

8O3JYp6vjtQ This is my first 'Falcate' braced guitar build (12th fret at the body joint) that I started building January 2020 and completed two weeks ago. I did enjoy the challenge creating jig frames for the 'Primary' and 'Secondary' braces. First time working carbon fibre and using the 'West' epo...

Great to see you keeping up the various challenges as you progress. I used 'Adirondack Spruce' for my braces. The secondary braces were a little more difficult to bend. I did break one laminate. I then had to be more careful and patience when using the bending iron for the secondary brace bends. I w...

I have also used spruce to make Falcate Bracing and had no issues. Refer to photo attachment.

Thanks fellers. From what I can see, neither of those firms have what I'm after. Nothing bigger than A4.

I received my 10 Rosewood Bridge Blanks that I ordered with free shipping arrangements, 5th December 2019. from 'Stewmac'. This order was made when 'Stewmac' removed their export restriction on rosewood items for a short period in early December 2019. 'Stewmac' has re-introduced the export ban again...

When I looked at 'Stewmac's' website, 5th & 6th December 2019, their website did not display a restriction on exporting Rosewood Bridge blanks or Rosewood Back & Sides. On the 6th December 2019, I placed an order for some Rosewood Bridge Blanks. I received an email 6th December 2019, from 'Stewmac' ...

I was looking at 'StewMac' Rosewood timber Back & Sides Sets today and noticed that no warning came up regarding exporting it to Australia. I Googled to find out more and from the 26th November 2019, you no longer need CITES permits to import or export rosewood, refer to link. https://www.environmen...

Anyone tries Trevor's online course at O'Brien Gutiars? I recently purchased the online video series from Robbie O'Brien and found them was very helpful explaining some of the setup aspects related to modular tuning and VA setup requirements after reading the Gore / Gilet books.
