What Ive Been Up To

Post by Tod Gilding » Wed Jan 29, 2014 8:55 pm

Apart from another acoustic guitar build, this has been keeping me busy.

I had a Strat style guitar that I carved out of one block of Australian red Mahogany Turned out to be a great guitar but HEAVY way to heavy to play all night with out doing in the back :(

So I went crazy with the router and chambered it, then capped top and back with some nice silky oak, a little more adornment, and now a lot lighter and I think better looking Guitar.

Love a bit of Silky. Nice work.

Mason Rack Band is pretty fun, too. They play pretty regularly at Bruns Pub....
I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am....

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Tod
Yes, Jamie is the Bass player with the Mason Rack band. Talented kid - I wish his uncle had half his talent.
I will be up your way hopefully in a month or so. Hope we can catch up again.
Regards
Steve
