Hi all, Okay, I've been stuck for some time on a repair job. For some reason, one of the top ferrels on a bass tuning machine fell off. Where the heck can I...

First posting to this group. I am an amateur luthier, and had some things to share. I'll post pics to when I can. Building my first guitar (from scratch, not a...
Did some more work the last couple of days and uploaded some pics to my site I thought someone might like to see. I've had to do a repair job on the back of...
Hello, I just uploaded some photos of the 50 cm scale guitar I made from a musikmamer's kit. The fingerboard was replaced by a bubinga one, I also added a...
Very nice..very nice. Not being an accoustic builder, or player, what is the purpose of the wood pad at the end by the tailpiece? Armrest? Žick The Great and...
Hello Rick, Yes it's an armrest. The guitar has been made for my godson who is just 6 years old, so the small size of it should be right. regards Markus ... ...
Well, it's very nice, to say the least. I'm getting to the buff out point soon on the stratoid I am building for my daughter. Žick The Great and Powerful Az...
I'm considering buying a used classical guitar from a local guy. He's selling it for $3000. It looks great, sounds great, plays well. I've never heard of the...

A guitar is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, so if you're willing to pay $3k, then that's what it's worth. The next question would be "What would...
$3000 is chump change for a good classical.Think what a good violin ,piano,flute or cello costs.(10.000 up) I sold a negra flamenco to a well known guitarist...
Take a look at other guitars in the same price range. How does the one you're considering compare? $3000 isn't a lot of money for a nice handmade guitar. Find ...

Have any of y'all checked out the Musical Instrument Makers Forum ? It's free and they are full of usefull info. It never hurts to heve more like minded people...
Ok, so I didn't buy the $3000 guitar I asked about earlier. That was a bit pricey. So I bought a less expensive new one from a fairly well known classical...
Well...I didn't get an email from you so I guess it's not mine! ; ) I'll assume it's not a 'back buzz' behind the bar...usually those are further up the...
Classical guitarists and buzzing:-) restrict your repertoire to "Flight of the bumble bee".:-) No really; Raise the action to 100 mm at the nut.Raise it to 300...

Thanks for the reply (even though it wasn't yours). No name given on the builder 'cause its not about knocking anyone. I would like one of yours .. perhaps...
I build steel strings or I would have jumped in on your original question... BUT, I can tell you what I'd do on you last question. I don't mind another repair...
Well, I'll be interested in what the maker finds! Also, I'm glad to hear that the maker wanted / was willing to take it back. As far as how I handle warranty /...
Just a thought on "when I'm past my amateur status I'll get a real guitar..." I thought this too, but found out that playing a real guitar made me practice a...
I can't remember noticing how this was done on guitars with a 3 piece back - do you have a graft on each seam? (instead of the usual 1 you see right in the...
Yes. This is pretty common especially on Brazilian rosewood backs, where it is cheaper to piece together a back from three flitches rather than find one piece...
I agree, a 3 peice back always has the two seams rienforced. I once had some really nice Brazilian Rosewood that was to small to get a guitar out of...so I put...
I'm curious about the brazilian back and sides sets I see on e-bay being sold out of brazil. I guess I have a suspicion that this is illegal (I've seen some...
