I wish!!! You guys have no idea how much it costs each month to feed a woodshop

My lumber bill alone each month is more than most mortgages.

Believe me when I say, I could go back to work for another major guitar company again, and make way more money.
I do it for the love, not the $$$.

oh i hear ya, i didnt mean any disrespect, but your livin the good life, doin something ya like, and your probably not going hungry

how did you start making guitars? i;m a metal fabricator, i'v always been good at building things, just curious how you got into it, i'd love to try one of my own, i know probably after the amount of tools and bits and what not its probably cheaper just to buy a custom made one, but it would be something cool to try

As soon as he gets back to the states, I`ll have a whole pile of 39 fret F/B`s waiting for him to slot. That will teach his ass!

Make sure they're fanned

I never really set out to be Luthier, it just kind of happened I guess. I built my first guitar (actually it was a bass) at the age of 14 and kept going from there. Early on, I bounced back and forth between Areospace and Luthiery, and even taught Diesel Mechanics for a while, but the guitar building was my true love, and it just kind of evolved from there.

There is really no glamour in building guitars, it`s alot of unforgiving work (I`m sure Dan, and Matt would agree) but the reward is the music that your efforts help create.

And some progress. I decided to use a different section of the Bubinga for the top, as I thought it was more interesting. This one will be 28" scale with 27 frets, and two pups, and Birdseye Maple binding on the body. The back is Northern White Ash
