Thanks for the comment on the bombadier instrument. This was a collaboration with the owner on an instrument he wanted built in memory and honor of his dad who was in the airforce on a B29. The sound holes were made to reflect the airforce wings pin his dad aquired during the war, and the B29 on the neck was an added touch to personalize the instrument more for him.

At 6:40pm on August 24, 2009, Shane Hopkins said…: paul, the scroll saw is powered or can you use a jewelers hand saw? We have access to a power scroll saw but the blade seems too big to do fine details, maybe a different blade is what we need.
Any info appreciated, again, great job on thos guitars.

Please encourage other players you know to share their skills by posting an instructional video. Your effort is greatly appreciated. Enjoy.

At 7:16am on August 23, 2009, Roosterman said…: Hey man, thanks for your comments again. On the subject of diddly bows.... build one!! They are quick, cheap and easy compared to guitars (I think anyway) and just as much (more?) fun!

At 3:09am on August 23, 2009, Diane in Chicago said…: That is a beautiful neck! and I want to learn more about those pick guard frets!

At 1:50am on August 15, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you for your best wishes. I'm really excited. You know, underground on the subway platforms I hope for rain. Brings people down to ride. Oddly, now for Times Square, I'm wishing for blue skies and wonderful weather. I guess, "I can't be satisfied". LOL Enjoy.

At 5:23am on August 13, 2009, Blues Bender said…: Hey Paul Doug. i used a dremel with a cutting bit to cut off the necks. i just kept scoring it until it came off. it takes patients but its worth it. And the neck of my cbg is made out of poplar with 3 coats of stain.

At 6:55am on August 10, 2009, Jason Farthing said…: Hey Paul, on the t-bolt question, no... the threads don't bother the strings. I put a t-bolt on the backside as well for the string nut to catch on and where the string breaks out of the bolt on the top it's pretty smooth. Thanks for the comment. I have a question for you about ukes. Are you using a premade neck? and what are the scale lengths that you use for your ukes?
