Outstanding Matt, even though I don't have a CNC or a pin router, your approach to building guitars is much appreciated!!!

That was fun. I've missed the Beloved Pin Router. Watching a CNC is a bit like watching a cake bake, so it's good to watch you set up and actually control the functions as they happen. Thanks!

Matt thanks for your prompt response. I have been designing and building guitars since 1977. Yes I am ancient. Lol. I respect anyone who does this at all levels. I find your podcasts extremely informative. I especially enjoy and New tips and tested processes you use and as I do also. I am a non conformist quite intentionally but I like designing my own guitars. I do agree when starting out find a style of guitar to copy then start thinking more original. We all have to start some where.... I don't copy my own designs because I am more prone to liking original designs. I find it more satisfying. I will build pretty much anything but it has to include unique features.....and yes I have my favorites just like you. I love teles too. Best wishes from Canada.😎

@johngeddes7894 Жыл бұрын
Its no secret that guys like Stradivari had forms and jigs, and even a precursor to the pin router (to get the graduations of the top and back close enough for final voicing) , so repeatability is a good thing. That’s all i got!

As for tools, and which a better method, for building this or that, I use whatever i can afford, or what's available to me at the time, if there's a tool that will make the job easier, but i can't afford it, well, i am forced to use the tools i have access to. So, what i'm saying is, for most people, it ISN'T a choice, you just use what you have. It isn't about, this way is better, that way is better. You do what you can, with what you have.

I really like the pin router concept - you’ve converted me. Of course, I’ll never own or use one… But it seems to me to be a safer tool than either a hand or table router, in that the rotating tool - the dangerous part - is in sight at all times. And in this case, I’d imagine it’s absolutely authentic!😊
