My story

I have always loved music and a few years ago I took it to the next level by starting to play guitar.
As I have learned to play the guitar, I’ve found it to be my favorite instrument. As such, I have decided to make a guitar this winter as my senior project. This blog will be following my attempt.
I will post the steps I take, post photos and make comments regarding the process... And hopefully, I'll post about the finished guitar!"

Thanks for reading!

X braces

So, I haven't done much on my guitar lately (been building the Go-Bar Deck), But today I went out and finished shaping my braces and got everything ready to glue.
<--weird face.
                Gluing the two together  -->

 <--- now adding the glue with a brush
 putting glue on the back of the top-->

 <---all set for the go-bars. Putting the first Go-Bars in --->
 <--- all of them in, some changes still need to be made. cleaning the glue-->




                    All done!

Not really, all those other braces still need to be glued in.

More tools.

Ok, so again... I am really bad at taking photos, it's kind of hard to work and take photos.
This past week I have been building a Gobar-deck. This is used, instead of clamps, to glue the bracings onto the top and back of the guitar. At the moment I have it almost all done, I just need to get the side posts secured.
