continuing build thread for Gore Medium body SS

[John Parchem]

John is that book under your neck in the pic the one you use for your layout for your first carving ? And which book is that?. I want to try that approach . And also your guitar looks great!.

Thanks,

The book is the build book of Gore\Gilet Contemporary Acoustic Guitar Design and Build. I have seen that method in other books as well as on line. It is a good way to copy a neck shape if you have the profile at the nut and the 8th or 10th fret.

I am getting closer ... a few more pictures.

First the important things in life. My best shot from the tee all day and fathers day at that, my son followed me. He had to show me up :(



I cut an installed my logo so the body and neck are finished! This was mt best work with the logo. I actually managed to make the logo round so that it fit in the drilled 1" hole

Nice logo work.
I hope you sunk the putt!!

[John Parchem]

Sadly I missed the birdy putt but made par.

Everything is clean and sanded so I decided to start the pore fill. I have my top really clean and I do not want to sand it any more so I made a top shield out of mylar and taped it on. I will be careful pulling the tape but I have about four applications of shellac on the top so I should be OK. Maybe I will FP the top as it is looking really good. It is always fun to see the wood with the first coat of zpoxy.

Beautiful wood. It's going to look fantastic when done
