Bob, We'll have to get Grant Goltz in here to talk about bending Goncalo Alves. (I know he has successfully bent it, and has quite a bit on hand.) 170°C (338°F) sure sounds like enough heat. How long did you have it at that temperature before cranking it down? Did you use foil and wet paper in the...

Dennis, that is very cool! Is she strung up yet? If so, how's her tone and volume? My hats off to you sir to be bold enough to try new ways to skin that old cat... Thanks, Alain. She is strung up now, for over a year. Of course, this being my first guitar, and my one and only guitar so far, and the...

Martin, that is a very cool guitar. I'd need to hire a musician to play it for me! Is this for yourself, for a customer/commission, or built "on spec"? You mention a switch to switch between the undersaddle pickups - will the switch be 3-way, and allow both pickups simultaneously (in addition to one...

And now, for something completely different
I'm not sure this is what you were hoping to see, as this won't help much in a discussion about X-braced tops. This was the experimental "pivoting radial" design I used for my guitar. http://www.7thsensemultimedia.com/angelinabracingshot800.jpg The idea was to have a single lateral brace that allowe...

Good tutorial, Hesh. Since my bridge started out flat on the bottom, I did a step prior to your tutorial to get the general radius: I took a piece of MDF and sanded it in my radius dish. That gave me a convex 25' radius block. I then put sandpaper on that block, and that was used to get the initial ...

Hello from Duluth Minnesota, USA
I am honored that Kim invited me to join the Australian/New Zealand Luthiers Forum, especially considering I am neither Australian nor New Zealander, and have only built one guitar. For those that don't know me from other forums, I have a pretty experimental mindset when it comes to lutherie, so you...
