inlayed 1 of the 4 bindings today, sofar I think it looks realy nice.. im quite terrified doing binding work each and every time, its such a delicate process. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

and a little view from the side. I'ts hard to see, but the madagascar rosewood has quite a bit of grain figure that i hope will come out nicely once the guitar is french polished. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

i still have to install the bindings for the back. i was thinking of using some mother of pearl to decorate the tieblock, oooor i might use a piece of bone, not sure yet. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

without a doubt, this will be my best looking guitar so far (out of almost 40 guitars). glued on the bridge today, still need to do the binding on the back, leven fretboard, fret. But im so curious, i might just string her up tomorrow or the day after to hear what a few string do...... its hard to be patience. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Gimar Yestra -> RE: 1st blanca build (Nov. 29 2011 20:43:47)
any advise on hammering in the frets above the soundboard, so fret 13 and up? im kinda scared I'll kill my guitar hahaha, im used to fretting necks before attaching them to the body.

Andy Culpepper -> RE: 1st blanca build (Nov. 29 2011 20:56:50)
I reach inside with a bag of lead shot and hammer the frets in against that with the guitar lifted into the air. Rest the bottom end on a piece of carpet, but do not hammer those frets in with the guitar lying on its back on the bench.

Gimar Yestra -> RE: 1st blanca build (Nov. 29 2011 21:13:01)
aah i see, thnx man.. btw what is lead shot? will a bag of sand do?

Flamingrae -> RE: 1st blanca build (Nov. 29 2011 22:22:40)
Balls of lead!! (small ones) - to coin a phrase[:D] BTW, great stuff so far - you have got to be sooooo excited. No sleep for you till the baby cries me thinks. [:)]

Gimar Yestra -> RE: 1st blanca build (Nov. 29 2011 22:55:02)
hahaha thnx flamingrae, yeah im excited, i posted a vid of me playing her with only 4 frets installed lol, i installed up to fret no12 today so i could play her properly with a capo. At first the trebbles seemed a bit soft, but after a bit of playing they came alive, totally knocked me off my socks :D unfortunatly I'll be busy doing some other work this week, so I might not be able to work more on this guitar untill next week. next up is finishing the fretwork, final shaping the neck, making bone nut and saddle, sanding and then french polishing.

Gimar Yestra -> RE: 1st blanca build (Jan. 5 2012 20:58:07)
been playing her for last few weeks now, I already did all the sanding work, and put on some sealer coats of shellack, but i enjoy playing to much to actually finish her :D Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px
