        If that guitar has what seems like a slightly wider fretboard than normal, that's one I'd love to try, not that I can afford a new guitar LoL!

  • The "Making Of" Helt Oncale's guitar

    Current mood:mellow

    Well, I'm proud to build a guitar for four times "country music award" - winner and good friend Helt Oncale.
    It will be a 12-fret Dreadnought (what else), Alpine Spruce top, Indian Rosewood body and Curly Bubinga Bindings...
    So here we go:
    First the back... joined and glueing the backstripe...

    The back bracings are glued... with the usual 20' radius...
    They are pressed with flexible rods, we call it "Himmelbett"

    The braced back and the top... notice the "bearclaw"

    Bubinga backstripe...

    My name's not Noah, but I got boats to build... (hey, there'a song from Guy Clark  )

    The top is braced... there's some music in it yet...

    Quickly have it signed...

    Now we jump... sorry...
    Body's closed and the Bubinga was invited to play it's role...


    Nice spruce-bubinga-herringbone arrangement..

    Nicer butt anywhere ?


    The first lacquer is always a big moment




    Now it's finally a finished guitar ready to rock the stage... Helt is going to pick it up soon...










    "Stage-proofed" now - together with the "International Cajun Trio" with Biber Herrmann and Yannick Monot...


    Well... see you soon,
    Martin

        Love that guitar, now if it sounds as good as it looks, wow. I still have and play my Dadou selbstbau and have one of Knut Welch's guitars as back-up, but if u ever need some-one to play and praise your guitars, give me a shout. You know how I love to let a guitar sing. and did I see correctly: Yannik? From le Clou right? can you connect me ?

          Hi Klaus,
          yes, sure, let's get in touch with all that... I will send you a mail.
          And yes, it's Yannick formerly of Le Clou, now he has "Yannick Monot & Nouvelle France" and the "International Cajun Trio" with Biber Herrmann and Helt Oncale. No problem to make a connection.

  • Was macht ein Gitarrenbauer mit einer Blogfunktion ?

    Current mood:busy

    Tja, er wird hier mal ein Blog starten, in dem eine komplette Gitarre gebaut wird...

    D'rum geht's hier jetzt mal los mit einer klassischen 12-bundigen Triple-O aus Indischem Palisander, Master-Grade Alpenfichte, Switenia-Mahagoni und Koa-Bindings.

    Viel Spass beim "verfolgen"

    Hier liegt das rohe Holz bereit:

    Die Decke...


    ... vom Feinsten  


    Korpusholz:


    Und der Halsrohling aus Switenia (Honduras-Mahagoni)


    Bis demnächst....

    Gruss, Martin
