Ok, with the risk of starting something I might regret,

here´s a new soundport that I just made for a steelstring. Its a handdrawing, more or less made on the spot.
I will now offer special inlayed soundports on my 1A guitars.

That is fantastic, Anders - my favorite of all the ones you have posted here, I think.



Anders Eliasson -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Jan. 28 2013 13:22:15)

Thanks. I like it as well. Very organic and not to complicated. I also like that i didnt think about what i wanted to draw, i just drew it.

Nice soundhole Anders!
The "egg" shape follows nice the visual lines of the curves from the sides.

Yes, Ralexander, that's Daniel on the far right. I knew Daniel and Juan when I lived in Morón de la Frontera for a year in 1970-1971 studying flamenco guitar playing with Diego del Gastor, and with Juan too.

Ethan,

Did you ever run into my old friend Tom MacNab in Moron? I think he was living and studying there about that time.

Thats actually how it started.... I want an egg to dinner. I like eggs. Eggshape is cool, I´ll make an eggshaped soundport.

I like this design very much. What scares me though is that one good hit in this area and it can get damaged. It looks fragile. I think the risk is minimized with care but accidents to happen. Regardless, I like the design and I like that you used a light colored wood. It contrasts nicely with the darker side wood.

John--
I don't think so. I am terrible with names, though. But I'm sure I didn't know him. There was a guy who had my apartment in Morón before me and left a bunch of stuff behind including photos of Diego. He actually telephoned me a couple years ago and then emailed me more photos from Morón. Could that be him (in Florida now I think)? Unfortunately, I forgot his name....

Thanks for clarifying. I knew it was from Harry Potter.

What's to regret, Anders? I like your organic style. I am very impressed that you also build boats and violins. Wish I could have a beer with you sometime.



estebanana -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Jan. 30 2013 5:12:28)

I love the Juanito playing your guitar photo. I saw him when he was here last time. He played wonderfully. There was a drunk guy that offered him a beer on stage however, that was amusing, but kinda not. Juan just kept playing. I know exactly where that photo was taken and that funny lady watching him is a friend of mine. Did you know her in Moron?

Soundports is a subject that makes trolls show up very fast.
Maybe I shouldn´t have answered this, because I just gave them another chance to start trolling. And no, I´m not paranoid, I´m only experienced [;)]

Now that I think about it Tom must have been there a year or two before you. I had him buy me a Ramirez blanca and later a Francisco Fernandez blanca while he was living in Spain. Neither was a particularly memorable guitar. Tom went from Spain to India with a bunch of hippies to see the latest phony religious leader and spent the next couple of years worshiping some fat kid who loved expensive cars and good looking women. Fortunately he got over that nonsense after a few years.

Finished a cedar topped blanca recently. Lighting in the picture is a bit dark, I think I need to figure out a different lighting system for photographing stuff... new workshop is a bit darker than the last one.

Your guitar has a very nice shape. I like the rounded lower bout (no flat spot at the end block) but I would prefer that the 19th fret be split by the sound hole. Somehow a full lenght top fret throws off the symetry. Nice work!



Andy Culpepper -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 4 2013 23:36:15)

Blair, your guitars are looking really nice. Judging by the clips you posted in the classifieds they are sounding excellent as well.

Ethan, I really like that picture you posted. It's always fun to see one's guitars being played out in the real world :)



Blair Russell -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 7 2013 8:45:52)

Thanks John and Andy. John, I think you are right about the 19th fret... I've stared at it for awhle now and it's starting to look a bit out of place. The only reason I don't usually split the 19th fret is because I find filing the fret end in the soundhole to be a pain - I shouldn't be so lazy...



tijeretamiel -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 7 2013 11:19:40)

The Cedar/Cypress is very pretty indeed.

Looking forward to trying it out on Tuesday....

I don't think so. I don't know her name. Daniel sent me the photo and didn't say.

I actually have not seen Juan or Daniel since 1971. But Daniel has one of my guitars and one of his students has two of them.

I'm a single father in Seattle with a teenage son to look after. Fortunately making guitars and teaching flamenco playing at home fit well with this. Maybe when he's off to college in a couple years I'll get out more.



Blair Russell -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 9 2013 21:12:43)

Made a new rosette yesterday. Trying a new idea with sapwood in the rosette.

Great, I like it. A bit of sapwood is always nice because it makes for an interesting contrast.
The problem with rosettes with pure wood inlays is that they can easily look dull. You need to use a very interesting looking piece of wood, that keeps on looking interesting when cut into a very small piece.



Stephen Eden -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 12 2013 15:34:21)

Hello everyone I haven't posted in quite a while but I have been busy. I thought I would just post an extremely rare to the internet photo of my guitars. Over the past 2 months I have put my head down and managed to build these 5 beauties. The three on the right are all classical guitars. The 4th guitar to the right is a Ziricote cedar topped negra and of course the one on the far right is a blanca (no prizes there) They will all be finished and strung up at some point next week. Best wishes to all,

SEden... You are not supposed to put the strings inside the soundhole.[sm=Smiley Guitar.gif]

It looks great. I have four which have just been put into cases. No more hanging there.



constructordeguitarras -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 12 2013 16:38:35)

Guitar Salon International just came out with this video of Alfredo Caceres playing one of my blancas.




Don Dionisio -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 12 2013 16:46:53)

Ethan,
This is such a well-done video of a fine player, a fine composition, and a fine guitar.
All the best to you!



Leñador -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (Feb. 12 2013 16:47:52)

I saw that this morning, sounds and looks great!
