Tom, can you tell me what was the Rosewood used on the neck and bridge? I am trying to imagine what this might be like with a Maple B&S with a Redwood top (which I am hearing in my head) .. even with a super vibrant Redwood like Lucky Strike. Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA

The first acoustic: what a GREAT guitar! Crisp sound, lot of clarity, plenty of overtones. Pricing?
@andriesscheper20227 күн бұрын
The Julien Sublet sounds even (I agree) stunning! Nice lower tones! Looks amazing! The organic one: sounds unic! Like a fretless one? The Tyler Robbins? I want one! (Almost wouldn't dare to play it. Wouldn't feel worthy). An instrument for a museum or for a great player and performer, whoever that migt be ... Sound and tone? Flawless...

I have several myrtle sets waiting to be built...the first one was pretty green in color (I named it Kermit) and I paired it with a Port Orford Cedar top which I think I left too thick. POC is stiffer than Spruce, and I am curious to see how a thinner spruce top or perhaps a redwood top would work. Kermit IS beautiful, with great figure so I look forward to using those other sets!

Is it possible to use like a trim router to shape the neck? I'm wanting to make full solid body (all one piece) guitars as art. Not an actual functional guitar. I've got everything else figured out, it's just the shaping of the neck. Any help from anyone would help greatly!! Love your videos as well.

This is a good idea brother. Why not try to put Glow in the dark inlays on sides or on fretboard, I will love to see a guitar with that. Hopefully this will work on the market for better playing even in the night or camp without proper lights

Explanation at the end of how the neck & bridge influences the sound was great. I had heard that before in relation to the bridge but didn’t realise the neck would affect how the whole instrument would vibrate and potentially drain the energy the guitar needs to generate sound. I can bore people down the pub now with these facts. “Hey lads…” 🤓

If that fretless bit of the fingerboard that goes over the regular frets is detachable that's really cool. It's cool to begin with, but the idea of being able to just clip on an accessory to make some or all of a regular fretboard into a fretless instrument is really inspiring. I don't think that you could change it in the middle of a gig, but it's a really cool idea that would make fretless instruments much more accessible, as well as permitting the use of modes that fall outside of 12tet (for instance, you could authentically recreate melodies and chord voicings from Arab musical traditions that are currently not available on western instruments)

@@TomSandsGuitars Sorry. It was not for here that I wrote. I bought a Cort Core OC all solid guitar (blackwood). It sounds terrible from the factory. I had to make changes to it and now it sounds really good, different from everything I have. For example, high frequencies have no shine, overtones. I used 2 drilled brass pins for high E and B and now it's much better. Under the saddle pickup kills the sound
