Hey Bill, you are one of the reasons I started trying to buid guitars. You have been a big help to me, along with Ken Cierp, and I'm glad you have decided to add to the forum.

Re: Rebuild of Ruined 000
What is the deal with cats and guitars? I wasn't around when you were the HMFIC of this forum, but like the others have stated, we owe you a lot of gratitude and from what I understand John has tried to keep the objectives and principles in line with what you originally started. Thanks!

Re: Rebuild of Ruined 000
Welcome back, Bill.
Danged cats. Cats should be banned from houses with guitars. Cats should be banned..................well nevermind the rest.
I had one I started early this year, where the cat knocked it off the counter, breaking the sides. A local luthier, Steve Kinnaird, helped me with repairing the sides and covering up the flaws. Glad to see yours, with more extensive damage, is getting well again.
Congrats on a great job.

Bill,
I'll be anxious to hear from you what the guitar sounds like after the fix...same, better, worse??? I looks really nice, and I see you did a fancy rosette on the new top.

Re: Rebuild of Ruined 000
That will be interesting to know. My guess is it will sound better.......based on Bill likely has learned a thing or two from subsequent builds........but still interesting.Kevin Sjostrand wrote:Bill,

Re: Rebuild of Ruined 000
I remember this guitar sounded really really good before the crash.
