A lifetime of playing has led me to building acoustic guitars based on classic shapes using my take on a V bracing layout to produce a full and balanced tone with strong projection for both finger and plectrum styles.

Well a very sunny winters Friday. Have a great weekend everyone. A few shots from the last fortnight. Maybe a bit quieter as I put a chisel in my hand this morning - 5 stitches and a few choice words to myself!

Today I christened it Finishing Friday! Three current piece are either being sprayed or prepared for spraying. So we have a Gnotuk VS in the spray shed, the Martin D-28 with a new top, binding, purfling and rosette and last but not least the Corangamite VS archtop. An interesting batch. Gave a great weekend everyone.

Ah Friday foggy morning beautiful afternoon! So along with my builds I have a cool Martin D28 I’m putting a new soundboard on. A few picks showing the neck removal by steam - and yes the top was trash by this stage and removed.

Happy chilly Friday (warmer than yesterday though). So on the bench today for binding was a Gnotuk which will go to the Acoustic Centre in South Melbourne (top spot) and the prototype Corangamite F hole Archtop. Do couple of pics to share including a sneak mock up of the Corangamite. Have a great weekend everyone.

Ah
”Monday I have Friday on my mind”. So another glorious week of sunshine but where’s the rain? Anyway excited to give you a peek on a new model the “Corangamite” which is in petit canapĂ© a toot en arc (a small couch archtop- than you Google translate. The benchtop shot shows me thicknessing the top by deflection measurement ( thanks Bon Narelle - great technique). The second is the top with the layout drawn on the underneath to show where to cut the f holes and glue the bracing. The others are a Blackwood back that I braced also this week. Have a great weekend all.
