Re: L-00 Rosewood Build
Posted: Sat Jan 16, 2016 12:25 pm
I did get it finished for xmas.
I got a case for it from Elderly, this size was not cheap compared to more common Dread sized cases you can get dirt cheap.
In the two photos I fuzzed out my initials that I have inlayed in the
headstock(s) in case you are wondering.
I have played this for a while now and I can't really get my head wrapped around the sound of this guitar yet after playing big guitars up till now.
This thing has a whole different sound from the Jumbo shown next to it.
The intonation of this guitar is off a little, on the Jumbo I made I got lucky and it is very good. I think the bridge on the LOO should have been back a hair more even though mathematically it is good. I have the break on the saddle back as far as I can but it is a little off at the 12th fret although not more than some commercial guitars.
I think once the guitar settles in I will work on the bridge and saddle.
Thanks for looking at this and being patient for the time lag between posts.
I am not guitar making expert but if any of these photos can help someone then it will have been worth the time I spent. I am thankful to all the people that spend time posting stuff on guitar sites all over the net. No one site or person has all the info but I have learned stuff from almost all the sites I have visited.
Edit- I forgot to mention I have 106 hours into this guitar in case anyone is curious. I don't know if that's good time or a bad time but I kept track on this one because when I was done with the last one I wished I had known.
