Anyone have any advice/tips for doing a Venetian cutaway on an acoustic guitar?
I really don’t want to crack the wood and have to buy more.
I’m planning to try with mango wood and if that works then spalted tamarind for another build.
My fallback is to do a Florentine.
TY
Two handmade electric guitars in front of a Xmas tree.
I almost forgot to post that I built a couple of teles for my niece and nephew for Xmas.
The most fun was giving each guitar the proper road rash and gouges.
A guitar is always better with a little mojo.

Progress update on my latest build. 0-28 small bodied acoustic with Indian mahogany back and sides, spruce top. #luthier #guitarbuild #woodworking

Image of the guitar body I purchased... a gray glitter base, but then I added the navy blue and orange stripes to it.
After installing the tail piece/bridge, I mounted the pickups, soldered in a ground plate and electronic components. Then installed the pick guard.
An overhead view of my work bench and the bass guitar I was building for my brother... photo inset image of the view down the headstock, tuners, and the rest of the guitar.
Image of the finished project. I'm proud of how well it turned out and that my brother said it's his favorite bass guitar.
After restoring the 1965 Fender Jaguar, this was my first guitar build... a bass I put together for my brother. #guitarbuild #bassguitar #guitar #custom #ibuiltthis #craftsman #bass #myshop #workbench #diy #soldering #projects

I finished it to the point where I installed strings and played it a bit.
The octave at the 12th fret is all good (my last major worry).
It looks done but I’m going to take a rasp to the neck and round it more before calling it done.

All better now.
I fixed my screwup.
I had sanded through the outer ring of the rosette.
Only took 3 days…
Before. After
Test fitting parts for the nani v3

AAAHHHHH!
Totally blew it!
I was trying to clean up the rosette and got too aggressive.
I sanded through the outer ring.
🤬
Going to have to do something radical to fix it.

And now there are frets.
I used a fret press in my drill press for most of them except the ones that will go over the body of the guitar.
I had made the 2 file holders previously, 1-90 degrees, 1-at a bevel.
Lots of filing. They’re level.
A v.3 build of the og Nani guitar is in the works. A few years ago i had to sell the original, then a few months ago i made the v.2 but it just wasnt the same. V.3 will 100% faithful to the original with maybe a few minor performance tweaks. Stay tuned.

Working on the neck.
I talked myself into doing inlay for the fret position markers.
I would have had to somehow replace the fingerboard if I screwed this up.
It went ok.

I did the scary part.
I used a router to cut the mortise in the guitar body and the tenon on the neck.
I must be living right because it fits flush on each side with zero adjustment. 😮
Built a cradle to hold it steady.

Finally got back to it.
Added the binding on the top and cut the fingerboard to final length.
And that's a wrap. OM001 is finished (for now). Not perfect but sounding and feeling great. A really good learning experience with lots of lessons to take into the next project (a 12 fret 0-28)

After attaching the top I did the scary part where I used the flush trim router to bring it flush with the sides. No tear out so yay!
Next is setting the neck angle and cutting the mortise and tenon. Another scary part.
Danish oil finishing completed on the oak back, sapele sides and okoume neck. Jury still out on the soundboard. Might sand back and do nitrocellulose.

I’m working on the neck.
Cut the scarf joint, added the heel blocks. Cut it down the middle to add a lamination.

After destroying my first rosette sanding before the glue dried I tried again.
Its finally done, the stratocaster telecaster hybrid . Its very trutle looking. #guitar #fender #partscaster #hellodrruby #guitarbuild
More work on my 2nd guitar.
Adding the rosette before I can do the bracing. Also added the back wedge which conveniently hide the gap where the sides meet.

Changed up the guitar build to something more vintage looking. #guitarfetish #gfs #guitarbuild #guitar #music #musician #fenderguitars #guyker #hellodrruby
Fin! The #burarija was actually finished on the 3rd, w/ final tweaks that weekend. #tambura #tamburica #slavonija #dalmacija #guitarbuild #luthier #luthierie
I really am proud, and even my stoic dad is. We are slavonci, but this was inspired by a visit at his home in #dalmatia in Oct 2022.
Overall fender like guitar with the face plate and wires removed. A hole can be drilled into the guitar for the effects knob.
To make room for the top pick up, I decided to router out more room on the body of the guitar for the top pickup to slide in more easily.
Router out a hole on the body to make room for the effects knob
The Guitar plate placed back onto the body of the guitar to check how well the effects knob fits into the hole seamlessly. It's a success.
Been working on my Cherry Cola guitar. It already felt great to touch and play and hear it sing beautifully without any feedback at all (big improvement in my soldering skills).
However, there were some other touches that I needed to make, specifically […]

Veneers! Some really #curlymaple for accents other than the body, and #purpleheartwood to go between the body and maple top. A little more progress on the tailpiece mount. Grounding is important! #amateurluthier #luthiery #tamburiza #bugarija #guitarbuild #croatia #hrvatska
