Father - Daughter Build.
Father - Daughter Build.
My Daughter Was showing an interest in playing guitar and as a result was playing mine.
I suggested we build one together.
So the deal is that when she gives me some time we work on her guitar together. I didn't want to end up doing it all for her.
So far we have the body complete with the binding channels cut ready to glue the binding/purfling.
The body is Tasmanian Blackwood with Spruce top. Figured Blackwood binding (Thanks Tim) with Heringbone purfling.
I bent one side and she did the other. I didn't have to fix it This was her first go at bending. she did an awesome job. very satisfying.

Hey Ross, your family are really making luthery the family thing at the moment - with a guitar for your brother recently and now the daughter getting into the action. It looks like she is a natural. I have made guitars with both of my sons, it is a great bond.
Nice looking instrument too. I love the mosaic rosette.
Cheers

Great project and well done to your daughter, I wish I'd had that 'bonding' experience with mine but they were more interested in social activities .

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

She'll probably show us all up!
Looking great so far and I'm sure you'd be loving all the quality memories being made, she will have those (and the guitar I'm sure) forever.

I love that budget bender you've got there. What thickness pipe are you using?

Cool idea for the rosette. I love the go bar deck- thinking of making one soon too. Great job.
Re: Father - Daughter Build.
Thanks Jim. She wanted random bits of wood for rosette. The gobar deck is the best thing.Jim wrote:Cool idea for the rosette. I love the go bar deck- thinking of making one soon too. Great job.

Yeah hopefully she will cherish the moments. I hope the guitar lasts a long time
