I finished soldering last week. I did not work constantly on it, obviously, it was slow and evolving. I learned as I
went along. although I have made two solid body lap steels, this was different and presented a bunch of new problems.
I would say that each part of the guitar took six or seven hours. fretboard, I had to measure, then build a jig for the Dremel router. then cut each slot, sand, cut slivers of maple, glue in and clamp. an easy eight hours.
hard to say Vic. labour of love? absolutely. plus, there was a lot of sitting and thinking and looking going on too.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-guitar-i-built/paged/2/#post-254888 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-guitar-i-built/paged/2/#post-254858 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:25:59 +0000
