Top notch sir. I enjoy your builds. The best looking and SOUNDING guitars. Very inspiring and I love your techniques. I put you at the top of the list as BEST guitar builders I've seen.
Wow! I've watched s bunch of these builds but never saw things like the solid back and top gluing surfaces; side braces; x and fan bracing on the top. I'd bet there's no belly bulge on this one in the future. Finish on the inside? Love the no bridge pins and the straight pull on the strings at theheadstock. Antonio would be impressed; exquisite!
Excellent!! Love the bracing pattern, tap toning was very nice. You have a really good headstock design, that’s tough to get right! Very nice bridge as well. I love the streak fretboard. A little touch that makes every build totally unique. Sounds good, balanced. Not too bright or bassy. Top shelf, sir.
Its called a Shaper Origin, it works much like a CNC machine but its hand operated (so I cant just leave it to do all the work for me!). I use it mainly for making fingerboards, bridges, head veneers and any jigs or moulds

That’s the bridge I would like on my guitar Jake. Ray
Can't get any better than a guitar build with a cute pup!!
Guitar + puppy = good time

Thanks very much! It's all in the details when it comes to trying to get the most out of an instrument
The best guitar build i ever saw
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
Great build. Absolutely love some of your techniques. You are a very talented builder sir.
Kind of you to say, thank you!
Magnífico. The minutes where you shape the braces are priceless.
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Top notch work man, sounds great! Lovely open tone and resonance.

Top shelf, sir.
Thanks very much, the headstock took a lot of different designs before I settled on this one, and you're right it was the hardest part to get right!
Brilliant as always, Jake.
Thanks man, always on the chase for perfection! 😂
amazing craftsmanship. Congratulations
Thank you very much!
Incredible work!
Thank you, I'm glad you think so!
Amazing, beautiful guitar bro 👏🏼
Thanks very much!
Beautiful ringing sounds on that rosewood. Always wondered why guitar insides aren't sealed, seems like it would help with stability.
I’ve seen some do it. It definitely would help.
It's to help prevent against changes in humidity. You never know where the guitar will end up, so it's better to be safe than sorry!
awesome
Looks beautiful 😊
What is it that you're spraying on the inner surfaces if I might ask?
The internal spray is shellac, to help seal the internal of the guitar to prevent any effects of changing humidity
Маэстро!!!=)))👻👻👻
What Router / Workstation setup is this? I've never seen it before. Did you use this to cut your fret slots? Amazing!

Stop using Bella for views

Fantastic build! Alot of people don't realize that many Luthiers are great musicians.
