Hey John...Just wondering what other dvd's you are planning. I remember you said you will be doing one on bindings. But, what else can we expect from you in the near future?

Frank,

Thanks for asking. I'm filming a bridge making DVD this week. It will be
cheaper as it will only be one DVD not a set of two ( $20 ) and should be
ready for sale by the end of the week or sooner. Also Bindings DVD
coming soon, and then neck sets, set-up, and maybe a couple other
things...

Anyone have any suggestions for DVD's they would like to see?

John,

Looking forward to the bridge making.

I would like to see, making saddle and nut, which might include discussion on string spacing choices.   Set-up like you mentioned would be great, information on scale length, bridge placement, bridge height, compensation, intonation, string height at 1st fret, 12th fret, neck angle, etc. I would also like to have a look at your neck/body joint. It looks like you bolt on your fretboard, and I would like to have a better look at how you do that.

I am sure I will think of something else too!

Jeff

Good one Brock. I am looking forward to the bridge one. You don't do your own finishing do you John? Here is an awful idea for you, how about a jig making one? I know thats dumb but I wouldn't mind seeing that.
