the weather meant I found some time to progress the #guitar project... side-bending is always a little stressful - but satisfying if nothing goes horribly wrong. #amateurluthier #summerproject

#AmateurLuthier Saturday... my #SummerProject (steel string acoustic) progresses slowly. Doing the top bracing which has a lot of influence on the final sound of the guitar. But I'm not really 100% on exactly how. I suspect I know too much about frequency analysis and not enough about guitars as most explanations generate more questions in my mind.

Last summer's #SummerProject finished enough to play. Its a baritone so tuned down about 5 semitones. It is very difficult to resist the temptation to get stuck into Jesus and Mary Chain/Sunn O))) territory but it does sound very nice with a cleaner sound. I've not done a whammy bar before - that is also difficult to resist 😃
Once I've played it in a bit I may post some sounds. 🎸

At this rate last summer's #SummerProject will get to double as next summer's #SummerProject - none of the bits n bobs are actually attached (including neck) - don't want to rush things... obviously 😃 It's a baritone riff on a Gretsch Astro-Jet and so the strange shaped upper bout and headstock are some of the more accurate aspects (the #Sputnik inlay is perhaps less true to the original). #AmateurLuthier
