GUITA
guitar-85-full-build-with-commentary-6
The sixth part in a series detailing the construction of a Triple-O guitar, with educational commentary from the builder.
This one was built with Redwood for the top, Ziricote for the back and sides, and Port Orford Cedar for the neck. This instrument has a handful of unique features: Steinberger Gearless Tuners for 40:1 tuning precision, lattice bracing for the back plate, Mother of Pearl purfling and rosette, and a new bridge shape.
In this part, I will be making a fox-style bridge clamp, gluing the bridge, routing the saddle slot, shaping the saddle, Installing the tuners, slotting the nut, and applying a Tru-Oil finish.

A recap of all the 2018 Acoustic Guitar Building Workshops at Eric Schaefer Guitars!
This is an 8 day course where students build their very own flattop acoustic guitar out of exotic tonewoods, from start to finish! This is not a “Kit Build.” We are building from scratch!
The course is taught with 1 – 2 students under the direct supervision of Luthier Eric Schaefer, so you can expect individualized attention on your guitar.
All parts and materials are provided. No experience necessary.
At the end of the week you will have your own handcrafted guitar, the skills to build more guitars, and a deep sense of pride in your work.

THE R
the-race-to-finish-2-parlor-guitars-3
I will be at the Woodstock Invitational Luthier's Showcase this coming October 13, 14, and 15. This is part 3 of me racing to complete Guitars #86 and #87 before the show. Will I make it in time?!
In this episode of DIY Guitar Making, I will be radiusing the fretboard, installing mother-of-pearl dots in to the fretboard face, sanding "fallaway" in to the fretboard tongue, applying Tru Oil to the fretboard, shaping the bridge blank and drilling bridge pin holes, and conforming the bridge glue surface to the radius of the top.
Come join me at the show this October: http://www.woodstockinvitational.com/

LISTE
listen-to-guitar-49-es2.omc.2019-with
Latest Orchestra Model Cutaway optimized for fingerstyle guitar with a semi-wide 12" radius fingerboard and with a new modified X-bracing pattern and a new "skewed" back bracing pattern. It also has an ultralight Port Orford Cedar neck with 2 carbon fiber reinforcement rods on either side of a double action truss rod to add additional lateral stability to the cedar's already world-class dimensional stability. I won't say anything of the sound. That's for you to judge. Have a listen!
Western Red Cedar - soundboard
Tasmanian Blackwood - back and sides
Macassar Ebony - fretboard, bridge, nut and saddle
Port Orford Cedar - neck
Appointment woods include Padauk, Macassar Ebony.
Evo gold fretwire
"Parisian eye" bridge pins
Gold Gotoh 510 mini Tuners
