Re: Hatcher guitar build
Wow, that is quite an interesting thread there with all the steps going into making a guitar! And WOW! What gorgeous wood!!!!!!
Now, if I could only figure out how to get a 4003 made out of figured koa like that...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Re: Hatcher guitar build
This is the most fascinating and educational thread I have read up to now on making a guitar; Mark really is good at discussing the finer aspects of what he does, like the fret ends, and his bracing techniques. Wow! I think I'll ask him how much he would want for a nice small 0 size 12 string guitar.
Re: Hatcher guitar build
Excellent photos and great tools and jigs! I don't care for wood like that, but that doesn't detract from a first-class job of it. I like the odd bracing schemes and the woodburned logo. The peghead on the classical is pretty cool, too.
All I wanna do is rock!

This is cool, the sound of the guitar while watching it get built:

I like his headstock shaping. Nice.
