Simon, Could you define what is a "Truly handbuilt guitar"? Has it something to do with the way you built the guitar? In this case I can find you guitars for half the price made by less known builders, Or has it something to do with the name of the builder? In this case you are almost right. Anders

Hi Simon. Following your 9 points, may make it very difficult to find a guitar. Point 1, the reputation does´t make a guitar more or less handbuilt, very often it´s the other way round. The Spanish masters, very often have someone or more (not esp. apprentices) doing things for them. Such as cutting the neck joints and routing for the reinforcment. Making the bridge etc. It´s extremely normal. Called culture. They use a lot of machinery. The Rosette is normally designed by them, but then they send the design to Valencia or Korea, where someone´ll make 500+ items. The most examples are the Madrid school guitars (Ramirez, Conde Hermano etc), where you´ll have no idea who made it. You can still find people working like you would like it, but tehy are in general not reputated. I talk about Spain. Elsewhere, you´ll find what you look fo, but you also pay for it. Anders

You cheat!!! I understand. I´m on number 2, and I´m not making the rosette either. I think I will one day though. I just want it to be perfect. (stupid me)

No 1 is being polished. I think in 3 weeks it´ll be ready. I´m planning to post fotos on the MIMF forum (fantastic place), but I´ll post some here as well if you want. Soundfile. Well a little later on, and I´ve only got ****ty equipment. Where are you in the process. It´s really addictive isn´t it. I hope I´ll be able to sell some, because if not I´ll have to move to a bigger house with more space for the guitars (and other instruments) that I´ll build Good luck Anders
