Hi Mike (Taranto), So are these the guitars in your guitar quiz? Some unusual designs there.... How did you acquire them? cheers, Ron

I'm waiting for Ricardo's opinion, he used to give pretty accurate assessments, but if you tell me that he is busy and wont log in for some time I will end the quiz and tell you which one was which. The negra is a Pedro de Miguel 1a, the rest are Mike Kinny's (Taranto built them [;)])

Love the Panormo headstocks.

i like the sound ports. that's really unique. i've never seen them like that. is this your original idea? how many guitars have you built?

These are very interesting looking guitars Mike. So, you're just building as a hobby? You're a very talented guy! Mucho respecto!! cheers, Ron

I recall when you posted after finishing the guitar on the far right. I like the placement of the pegs in the headstock and the guitars look great. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my opinion if you ever choose to make and sell guitars you should consider changing the decorative part of the headstock to something more traditional. The current version you are using might be too plain for some buyers. Who made the negra?

can we get a close up of the rosettes? why no rosette on the second one? i just love the sound port cut outs. i might steal the idea. hope it's not patented....

Anders Eliasson -> RE: My babies (Apr. 21 2009 23:39:26)
I think you have some really interesting things going on. I like your experiments but maybe they are a little bit over done. The one I like the most is the peghead. The 2 things I dislike about it is the veneer on the back of the headstock. It makes it look bulky and the heel I dont like. Not because of esthetics but because I dont like playing with a heel like that. It stops the movement of the hand. But in general that guitar has a nice overall balance in the design. I too would like to see a closeup of the rosette. The guitar I like the least, is the Pedro Miguel. (compliments) It looks like a factory guitar compared to your very personal guitars.

quote: can we get a close up of the rosettes? Will take some photos when there is sunshine. The one on the far right has a cheap generic russian rosette, so nothing to show there. quote: why no rosette on the second one? I dislike the traditional mosaic rosettes and when I made that guitar I hadn't thought of solid wood rosette alternative. quote: i just love the sound port cut outs. i might steal the idea. hope it's not patented.... Steal all you can my friend but if it works and you get rich slide some cash to my direction. Do you make guitars?

Thanks for the compliments. Which experiments are overdone? The heel doesn't bother me when playing. Besides it provides a better anchor between the sides and the heel.

I like the peghead too!

quote: Do you make guitars? not yet, but i think i will this summer. how long did it take for you to build those three?

Mike_Kinny -> RE: My babies (Apr. 22 2009 4:40:34)
quote: how long did it take for you to build those three? The first one took real long, I didn't have any tools, didn't even know what tools I need or what their names are and so on. So I divided the whole in small tasks like making the neck or bending the sides and focused on that task only, studied that topic, found out what tools and material I need, ordered them, waited for them to arrive, then found out I needed another tool as well, ordered it and waited ... You get the picture. But now if I wanna make one full time 2 weeks would be enough.
