Martin, Graham, and Jon return to complete their instruments, joined by David who is just starting his.
David was with us for two days, by which time he had his fretboard glued on and his neck carved, so he is well on schedule. Next time he comes he will install his inlays and frets and start work on the body.
The others had already been for three days in May and stayed three days making a total of six to complete the course.
Martin made a chambered body, single cut style guitar with a Bigsby vibrato arm.
Graham’s was a bolt on style with walnut ‘drop top’ on an ash body with birds eye maple and ebony for the neck.
Jon went to town on his Thru neck fretless bass – I kept finding him trying to count how many pieces of wood went into it!
All three are excellent examples of what can be done on the course – watch out for individual blog posts on each guitar coming up!
