Luthiery time saver - bandsawing the back profile

Till today, I was using the chisel to cut to the line for the back.

Then it struck me to use the bandsaw, my new bandsaw which have been with me for at least 6 months already! B ut seriously this is the first build since then! (last one was Jeanne's)

Completed the task in the same timeI was shaving by chisel at the lower bout.

Guitar Repair #182 - Bridge Reglue - China All solid Koa - Acoustic

I was going through my repair blog entries.
Many early guitars like this wasn't documented properly, if at all.
I wish I did.

Guitarron support sale

Kevin came to collect sample of my guitarron support.

Whatsapp me to order 6 in the afternoon. I got $90 for each one. Selling for $120. PTL!

What's more, I have exactly 12 Rosewood finger boards from Repe and the Indian supplier whom I met! PTL!

Another luthierie mistake!

Glued on the linings before profiling the sides to 15 radius to take the back.

Result - uneven linings, thickest at waist and tapering to the tail and heel!!! Just looks odd, but I'll be reinforcing where the linings gets thin.
