In this episode of DIY Guitar Making, I create some offset radial rosettes for my ES2.OMC model Guitars and share the process of cutting and installing radial sections, routing the pocket and installing the rosette.

Hi Eric the jig you used for cutting the segments did you make it, if so do you have a video on how to make one, thanks Steve.

I sell the jigs here: www.ericschaeferguitars.com/the-radial-rosette-maker-kit/ If you really want to make one I wrote a blog post on how to build one a long time ago when I first came up with the idea. I don't make them that way anymore, but here it is: www.ericschaeferguitars.com/radial-rosettes-building-the-radial-rosette-maker/ There were some issues with the one I wrote the blog post about, so I don't necessarily recommend trying it, but if you can anticipate the problems and design around them then you could give it a shot. The ones I sell now have all the kinks worked out

Love your channel. Was wondering if you make your own guitar cases or if not, where are you getting them?

Great instructional and enjoyable video as always. What bits do you use to count out the binding channel and sound hole? SM has loads of different ones and as a starting luthier trying to keep the costs down I don’t want to buy them all! Any recommendations as ones to start with? Many thanks.

thats' a great question. 3/32" is a really good one-size-fits-all kind of bit, especially if you plan on routing your saddle slot for a 3/32" saddle. In fact, you could just look at it this way: buy whatever bit you plan on using for your saddle slot whether that be 3/32" or 1/8" or whatever and use that for the rosette as well. Then you can always add on different sizes for special cases later on. Of course, if you're using a prefabricated bridge, then this is all a moot point and I would say just get a 3/32" bit.

@@russellscott1151 I want to amend my answer there. I hadn't noticed that you asked about the binding channel, and I just assumed it was a question about rosette channel bits since it was a video about rosettes. For the binding channel you really need a much larger straight cut bit held in a router.. like this: www.lmii.com/binding-tools/2604-binding-cutter-and-wrench-long-shank.html Although there is a way to cut binding channels with a dremel, I just don't recommend it because the results are not as clean.

Do you make guitars to order or do you continue making them so that you always have them in stock.

@EricSchaeferGuitars 4 жыл бұрын

Both. I do custom orders as well, But mostly I build what I want to build, to my own interests and specifications and then I attempt to sell whatever monstrosity I've created. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not...

So you build the components dry and then… superglue? If not, what? Also what’s the spray?? Thanks
