It’s been 4 months since I “finished” making Ann-Marie.
But there have been a few things missing.

2) the strap pin
3) a scratch plate

Day 25: Sanding, Ironing, Sanding
Sanding, sanding, and more sanding
The other kids in class warned me about the “all day sanding” day. Today was that day. My guitar is a point now, where I need to sand out all the markings, blemishes, lumps and bumps, and prepare the guitar to be oiled.
So I spent most of the day sanding. Sanding and sanding.
Much of the time I used 120 grit sandpaper to strip the lumps away without changing the shape of the guitar, or wearing through the sides of the guitar. I went over the entire body.
Day 24: Bridge Engineering
Bridge engineering:
Takamine bridge design
I brought my Takamine guitar along today to attempt to create a similar bridge design. My purpose to have a bridge like the Takamine, rather than the standard Maton style bridge that holds the strings in with removable pins, is because I don’t want to fiddle around with pins while changing strings at gigs. I’d like restringing to be as quick as possible, and I find it quicker on the Takamine than on the Maton. Last session I had to put my bridge creation on hold, as Chris wanted more than a photo to go by, as he’s not done a bridge design like this before. Read more
