Resonator solid body six string
Hi, ED Eker asked if I would show a photo of this guitar, he spotted it in a photo I posted on his recent peghead post.
Well A.D here is all I have left of photos of this build, for some reason the whole file on this guitar went missing. The peghead has Art Deco style inlay motives in pearl but they do not show up in these photos.
The tuners are also of an art deco style. It is built with New Guinee Rosewood. It has two pickups that can be used conventionally or in stereo. There are a variety of tones that can be had through the onboard preamp.
The bolt-on neck plate is covered by the timber inlaid cover.
Cutting out the well with a saw this way saved a whole lot of mess and time if using a router...
Then a back cap was glued in place...
Fitting and leveling the binding and purfling...
All done...
Shows the output sockets, which can be used mono or stereo.
This is an old build from 2010. Cheers Taff

Hi, thanks for the comments guys.
Tim, when I worked with people in a wood workshop who experienced a range of different abilities, I was always creating tools and aids that would make the job doable for them. Clamping needed two hands so I converted, as you said, caulking guns to do the job quickly and easily. When I saw these ready-made clamps sometime later, I bought heaps of them, and some for myself.
A.D, I built this guitar the "Commodore" with no customer in mind, some people saw it and ordered their own versions of it, I hate that, but in the end, it was sold to a customer passing through on holidays.
I don't have a price list for guitars, the price comes from discussing the customer's requirements and/or how happy I am with the final outcome.
