Conversations with M.W. Davis: Master Luthier (episode 1)

[@thegills395]

Oh so nice to see Rick again!! Was wondering about your videos a few days ago actually! Will share this with my guitar playing son and am certainly looking forward to the ukulele video... So nice to know of a close by master luthier. That guitar is gorgeous as is the rich wide sound! Than you both!!

So nice to hear from you. Yes, it has been awhile. I put most of my music videos on another KZbin channel: Uke 66. :-)

Does he finish the guitar with the neck already glued in, and the bridge already glued on?

[@ramaxson]

Hi Tommy, insightful questions. Yes, if the neck is dovetailed but no if it is bolt on. As for the bridge, he applies the finish first then scrapes the bridge location to bare wood before installing. He would add, “you better have the hands of a surgeon to prep the bridge spot before gluing. Thanks for your interest.
