If you have already worked withwood and take your /me following these instruc/ons precisely, youll end up with aquality instrument that youll be proud of. Also no/ce that this is not a complete kit below, youll nd a list ofaddi/onal materials that you will need for its comple/on.Īlthough the materials in this kit are all high quality, we cannot guarantee thatthe resul/ng instrument is, as skill levels vary. Please note that this kit may be slightly dierent from what is explained in theseinstruc/ons. Metal parts andelectronic components are all top quality, some being imported manufactured pro-ducts. All the wooden pieces except the ker-fed linings have been manufactured in my workshop in Spain. Most parts are made using CNC technology. This is so-mething hard to nd even in top-class instruments. The pickup ring is ebony it ts the top perfectly and at the right angle. The fret ends are not visible, as the fretboard has two binding strips made fromthe same material as the fretboard itself. This is made easierusing a special ebony piece that is glued to the ngerboard and to which the pot,in turn, is glued The volume poten/ometer is disguised under the ngerboard. This eliminates the need for a tailpiece bracket. The tailpiece is a0ached to the tail block through a bolt that locks into a metalpiece embedded in the tailpiece. That allowsme to supply carved braces that t perfectly without having to spend a lot of /meworking on their underside. The inner surface of the top has been simplied right below the braces. The tenon itself is unusual too: unlikemost joints of its kind (perhaps all), this one does not need 1ng at its le side. Thus, it does not have a sepa-rate extension as most archtop guitars have. The neck uses a tenon-mor/se instead of a dovetail. It looks quite tradi/onal, butthere are some details that make it unusual and some among them make it easierto build than conven/onal archtop guitars: This is a kit for building a 16 hollow archtop guitar.
