  1. 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

  6. #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.

  16. after months of much too much work on the weekends, finally got started on the next #SummerGuitarProject - its gonna be a steel string acoustic. After the thrill of actually starting and getting the plates glued together and marking the outline progress immediately slows down (like an iPhone slow motion video that starts normal speed and then...) as the back strip takes forever - which is the whole point. 🤓 Next task paua pieces! #AmateurLuthier #guitar

  21. 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. 🎸

  26. 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

  31. I'd hoped to get further along in this year's #SummerGuitarProject but various things way-laid me and I head to sea for 2 months 😲 in a couple of days. So it is what it is... it will be a #baritone with NZ made pickups and timber partly from recycled instrument boxes 😉 #AmateurLuthier #Recycling

  36. Finally finished my #lastsummer project… #AmateurLuthier - wow paduak (the timber for back n sides) is amazing- and smells so sweet. It’s very red but apparently this is supposed to ease into a darker shade.

    just in time as the planning in my head for the next one is getting loud.

  45. Well the local tūī are still providing mixed reviews of progress of #SummerProject. Nevertheless the top plate is done and now I can start on the bracing which is lots of fun but I'm pretty clueless as to how to connect "doing a neat job" to influencing how it will ultimately sound despite (possibly because of) those undergrad courses in vibration theory. #AmateurLuthier #Guitar #Lutherie
