Re: First Try with French Polishing
Here is a video/sound clip of my first build. The sound is from a consumer grade video camera. I installed a K&K pickup but this clip is NOT using the amplifier.

Re: First Try with French Polishing
Very nice!
I am thinking about putting a sound port in my next build. Will you ad one to your next build?

Here is another video where I use the K&K pickup through a small Peavey amp.

Yes. The next build will be a Dreadnought Redwood/Mahogany and it will have a sound port too.Benjy wrote:Very nice!

Re: First Try with French Polishing
I played this one in church last Sunday. There is something very satisfying about playing on an instrument that you have built.

Re: First Try with French Polishing
Cool to see the progress of the finish. I'm thinking of FPing my first build too ( should only be another year or two before it's done :) ) Looks and sounds great!
