#143 from Blues Creek Guitars

[tippie53]

here are some pics of my latest build # 143 This one is a 000-12 fret. This was some of the nicest BRW I have seen in a long time . The rosette is pre war period no plastic. All assembly is with Fish Glue . Ivroid binding and the neck will soon be finished . The top is Adirondack as are the braces . This one is for Jon Garon of My Favorite Guitars . It will get Nitro on the finish .

NICE.

John is that all the go bars you use when glueing up the back braces or have you removed some for the pictures?

I don't use a go bar deck, so I'm just going by photos I've seen of them in use, but it seems like you are using them quite sparingly.

thanks,

[tippie53]

that was all I needed. I like to get a good dry fit . The better the fit the less it takes to clamp.

makes you wonder about the usual photos of the go-bar 'forest' doesn't it?

[tippie53]

Many do over clamp . You haven't lived till the go bar shrapnel attacks .

Super sides on that one John. Congrats on the latest.
