Acoustic Guitar #7: Attaching the back

That clamping coffin is fantastic – thanks for posting these because I’m semi planning on building one and by the time I learn how to play I might actually have finished it – I already have twinkle twinkle little star down :)

That’s a coffin?!

... clamping jig… (coffin)...

Sure looks strong… It’s not going anywhere!... for sure…

Don’t bury it… we have come too far for that… LOL

Looking SUPER good!

Thank you!

I’m lovin’ this journey you’re taking us on Stewart. I can’t wait for the YouTube link of you playing it. :o)

Nice work!

It’s turning out great. Working on an electric right now. Super intimidated by how detailed the work is on the acoustic. Totally inspired though.

I think the inside is just as awesome as the outside.

It is a shame to cover up all that beautiful work. Its going to be great!

Do you have to know how to play a guitar to make one?

What does it say on the inside Stewart, looks like a few lines of writing in one of the pictures?

Well done Yorkie. Great craftmanship.

Stewart, sculpture is an apt phrase. Beautiful job. Now the proof is in the sound and ease of play. Another step down. Thanks for taking us along.

ShaneA – It’s a tradition to sign and date the underside of the soundboard.

Mauricio – You don’t need to know how to play one. All you need to be able to do is two things- cut wood and glue wood back together!

Andy Brit – I bought Bert Weedon’s book “Play in a day” in 1961. It has been one hell of a long day!
