Thanks RTC, aleksi and beno..

I kept the basic shape of my headstock but I carved some extra decorations into it.

The price above includes case and shipping to North America.



VietFlamenco -> RE: New peghead Blanca for sale (Apr. 14 2011 5:18:41)

Is this your 2A model Andy? Also, do you plan on making a 2A model for your negras?



ralexander -> RE: New peghead Blanca for sale (Apr. 14 2011 14:55:24)

Nice looking gitfiddle, Andy [;)] Would love to hear a better audio clip of it if you end up doing one.



gounaro -> RE: New peghead Blanca for sale (Apr. 14 2011 15:21:32)

Andy, how about shipping to Greece? Please tell me the cost...



Don Dionisio -> RE: New peghead Blanca for sale (Apr. 14 2011 15:41:35)

Andy,
One of my students (M.T.) is having a guitar made by you. What is your
new bracing pattern? I really like your aesthetics (both visually and aurally).
I also find your videos to be well-done and enjoyable.
I am really looking forward to playing his guitar when it arrives.
Dennis

Looks really nice, it's a pity that i don't have the euros [:o]



Andy Culpepper -> RE: New peghead Blanca for sale (Apr. 15 2011 0:56:29)

VietFlamenco, yes this is a 2a (premade rosette, etc)
I've been thinking about doing a 2a negra and what the pricing would be for that.

Thanks ralexander, maybe this weekend I'll record something.

gounaro, I think I looked it up once and it was $300-$400 or so. I'll check again.

Thanks Dennis! Here's a picture of the bracing. I'm not using this bracing for M.T.'s guitar mostly because of the piece of wood I'm using. It's really stiff cross-grain and I wanted to get out of its way with a simple 5-fan.

Thanks Schalli. It's a lot less Euros than dollars [;)]

Andy,
Nice picture. Are you using the 'extra' braces on all your future
guitars or on a case by case basis depending on the characteristics of
the particular piece of wood?
Is it safe to assume that you have added them for more sound production?
(If my questions are a nuissance, you can PM or just ignore them)
Take care,
Dennis



Andy Culpepper -> RE: New peghead Blanca for sale (Apr. 16 2011 16:42:48)

Dennis,
The diagonal braces in my new layout create more stiffness in the top across the grain. Combined with a thin top this makes a really lively guitar with potent, clear trebles and a crisp, percussive sound.
However, the piece of wood that I selected for M.T.'s top is pretty exceptional in that the natural cross-grain stiffness of the wood is the highest I've ever seen in a piece of spruce. It's from the Caucuses mountains. Also, the density is the lowest I've seen.
I felt that to accentuate the exceptional qualities of that top, I had to brace it really minimally across the grain, so I arrived at just 5 slightly splayed fan braces. (picture below) It's still as stiff as my more heavily braced tops and very lightweight! I think it will be really responsive.
