Thank you so much! Glad you like it.

Thought I’d let you know that I will be at the North West Guitar Show on 21st May. I will be taking this resonator along with a few other builds if you’re in the area and fancy coming to try it out.

So it’s taken a while to get to this, I’ve been busy, (Iceland/Star Wars Celebration). Finally got a chance to do some last finishing touches… I’ve added the dots to cover the neck bolts. I also added a tiny bit of lock tight to the neck bolts to prevent any movement from use. It really finishes it off and gives it that classic reso look!
-
Thought I’d add some full length photos and the headstock.

Thank you! Having pots on the plate won’t affect tone at all I reckon. Just make sure they don’t touch the cone underneath. Could always use mini pots just in case.

I’m trying to film some videos of it. Acoustic and plugged in, so I will make sure to share it here. Sound killer through my blues junior and my prince of tone!

Thank you!! Yea I decided to go with something sensible I’m afraid.
-
Thank you! I’m hoping to do some videos at some point. So will be sure to share them here. It’s a whiteside spiral cutter. I got it from routercutter.co.uk. Yea it’s 50mm depth bit. Radian Tools also sell them, so worth looking there too.

Thank you. Been playing it most of the weekend.

And she’s done! Strung with D’Addario 12-56. Just need to let the settle in and then add the dots to cover the bolts. It sounds lovely acoustic and plugged in.

Sorry, only just seen this. Thank you! Parts build is how I started. I put together a Fretless Jazz Bass from parts and then went down a rabbit hole of guitar building. Now this is my 10th scratch build.

Scratch plate template Pretty much done. It’s amazing how much time goes into something that looks very simple.
-
Wiring head on…based on circuits I’ve done before, a little different to the norm. I’m pretty sure this should work/sound ok. All passive, the controls are; - Volume - Varitone (3 settings and a bypass) 0.0068uf 0.022uf 0.047uf Bass roll off 0.0011uf These values will possibly change as I start to play it and experiment.

. I wonder if anyone has done an MDF guard? Not a bad guess and would look good. But I’ll put you all out of your misery. It’s going to be a semi transparent tort. But using a solid back so you can’t see electronics.
-
Hahaha! No, but what a guitar that would be… I wonder if they do scratchplate material like that, if not why should!
