Quoted: Truth. I did this one back in college. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52766595057_3da1518a95_h.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: so I'm watching this video with Andy Powers of Taylor guitars talking about a trio of instruments he built using tooling and techniques of 100 years ago. 1 archtop 1 acoustic guitar 1 mandolin He'd built them just prior to coming onboard with Taylor. It got me thinking about a block of maple I've had for 23 years that would make 3 tops suitable for solidbody guitars. I dug it out and remembered I had a piece of flamed redwood too. I need to build them into guitars now. I would love to build my own. It ain't easy though. Truth. I did this one back in college. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52766595057_3da1518a95_h.jpg That woodwork is stunning! I've got a banjo that my dad built back in the 70's but neither of us has ever learned to play it. An old buddy of mine had a business for several years building custom resonator guitars and did a number for big name country players in the Nashville area, but he's building high precision long range rifles these days. Dude is super talented. |

I'm halfway wanting to apprentice with an acoustic guitar maker to see if the ideas I have in my head are worthwhile. |

Clear the call. No reason to run the guy with no suspicion of a crime.
