What a pain in the A$$...Everytime I have built a guitar I make the saddle a little high so I will have about 2 adjustments before a neck set is needed.

I’ll be honest I’m not a fan of barrel nuts. I’ve seen them crack the neck and nearly pull out. I prefer a threaded nut sert that screws into the neck.

Both are viable methods. Funny that the reason I went to the barrel nut approach is for exactly the same reasons you mentioned about the inserts. haha

Hi Robbie, always good. I finish buff more or less always by hand, as per your French polish video tutorial (which is excellent, folks, BTW). Hand buffing works just as well with waterbased lacquers as with FP, although a little more time and effort is required.

I’m building my first guitar and having trouble setting the tenon to the mortise. Is the neck block angled just where the sides meet the body or is the tenon also angled as a whole to the body? Thanks
@OBrienGuitars 3 күн бұрын
The end of the tenon I cut an angle before putting it into the jig. It doesn't really matter what that angle is because the tenon doesn't bottom out in the mortise cavity. The sides or cheeks where the neck meets the body must have the correct angle.

Hay Robbi, great job as usual my friend. This guitar sounds wonderful , I was able to buy a German parlor on eBay, the back is off and the neck is off, but the top isn’t great condition. Nice on piece of fur or spruce. There is no bracing on the top and I would like to put an brace in it I see this guitar you worked on here. I wonder if you could give me any information about how big the brace would need to be ? any guesses?

These instruments are both great sounding instruments. They confirm my preference for the single top. The double tops that I've heard and played (and made) have a balance that leans toward the treble end and the midrange takes on a slightly "honky" sound - sort of like what happens if you talk and them cup your hands around your mouth. You get more projection but the tone changes - not for the better IMHO. The single top is more balanced, and has a fuller sound. Occasionally though on some pieces that have 3 or 4 voices the inner voices are more distinct on the double top.

In many ways, this is the best angle to watch Tommy play from. It shows just how gifted he his and how much he has worked to improve his God-given abilities. First, his hands are HUGE ! He seldom puts his thumb behind the neck to reach a string or execute a chord shape. Secondly, this also means that his hands are very strong, as he doesn't need the thumb's leverage. Third, this shows how very nimble his fingers are, not needing the thumb to give him room to navigate the fretboard. 🤯🤯🤯

Important to point out that if you turn around your slotted bridge pins, even for the treble strings, the bridge itself should be slotted (see your other video from today). If not, as the string comes to tension, the wraps securing the ball to the string are going to chew up your bridge plate.
