…One week…four students….four guitars….from scratch!
Left to right: Kai, Mark, John and Kieran hard at work
Kai is making a set neck double cut guitar with an f-hole
Mark’s set neck guitar will have acoustic and midi
John is having a ‘nanomag’ pickup inlaid into the end of the his fretboard
Kieran is making an acoustic with rosewood back and sides, and a sitka top.
So far so good – days 1-3 completed and the guitars are coming on well.
We have front loaded this course – Time seemed to run away with us a bit on the last one so this time we worked really hard early on – the necks and bodies are pretty much made. We still have 2 days to complete the woodwork so it should be fairly stress free, but there will be a lot of fiddly bits at the end to keep us busy.
The course finishes on Saturday when Kai, Mark and John will assemble their instruments and play them for the first time!
Keiran should have his body more or less complete.
I will add some more pics tomorrow of the guitars in progress…..
