I have just posted on my web site (wellsguitars.com) another guitar building pictorial of about 100 photographs of different processes in building two student guitars. I think you might find it interesting. Enjoy. |

I have really enjoyed your web site. I learn something every time I check it out. I can not believe that I just was at Luray caverns a few weeks ago and did not know I was that close to you. I would love to have visited your shop. Thanks for the major sharing. I have been using the taper jig for my last two fret boards. Very elegant, very simple. I love it. |

Hi Sylvan I'm interested in seeing the rest of that bridge clamp as well. The part inside he guitar. I have used the smac as well as the fox style and both have problems in that the outer clamping points are unsupported inside the guitar. Thanks for the look into your methods. |

For those interested in the bridge clamp, it is just a deep throat "C" clamp with a steel bar welded to it through which threaded rod is screwed onto the ends of the bridge. The ends are not supported but they are really only used to bring pressure on the ends just enough to hold them down and in place. I carefully fit the bridge so the clamp really does not have much work to do. If I have not explained it as well as I should, I would be happy to post a couple of photos. Let me know. |

Awesome pictorial. While I build almost exclusively classicals and therefore use a completely different method of building, I often will visit your site as it is so well photographed all of the steps and processes you use to build your guitars. Very inspirational and provides alot of great ideas as to how you tackled certain things that buildings deal with. One jig in particular that I think is brilliant is your neck jig for holding the neck to shape it. I have seen too many people struggle with that part, not know how or where to hold it...your approach is so logical and rock solid and yet you can get at any place on the neck that you need to work. |
