Adi top for Carbon fiber body

Post by stringuy » Sun Mar 25, 2012 2:19 pm

Hi to all,
I'm excited about finding this forum.

I'm wanting to accept bids on a dreadnought size, Adirondack top to install on a carbon fiber body I've recently acquired. By using some templates and drawings I have, it is a very close (exact as best as I can compare) match to a Martin D18. I would like to have the braces and sound hole installed in the top.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to write something like this up to make it fair to all bidders and to satisfy the requirements for a top like this? I will glue the top on the body and install the bridge myself.

Thanks for your time. Looking forward to any advice or suggestions.

Thanks

Hi - I'm a little unclear as to what you want. Are you looking for someone to thin, brace, cut a soundhole in and install a rosette on some adi that you currently have?

Hi Dave,
Yes. That is correct. Don't really need a rosette if possible. I have a "want to buy" ad on mc and umgf but I don't
think the ad is clear enough to get price from anyone. I'm getting tons of "you need to call this dude" emails, but
when I contact them, I never hear back.

I do have a few adi tops and adi bracing material that I would like to provide if possible.

Needing some help on the verbiage for an ad like this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jody

PS: I'm very excited about this project. Should be fun and a good learning experience.
