Howdy-

These Dana Bourgeois articles on building were asked about on another forum because they are no longer on Dana's website. I found "The Wayback Machine" or archive.org which archives webpages from the past and found these great articles about how Dana "voices" a guitar. The articles can be found here. If you are having trouble with the webpage, post a message letting me know. Or go to www.archive.org and type in www.bourgeoisguitars.com and it will give a list of Dana's old website on 60 different days - go to the last one on March 8, 2005 and select "Dana in print".

I think most folks here know about these articles but for those that don't, they are great reading. Some are fairly long but have lots of info from an experienced builder. I can't remember if anyone has mentioned these articles lately, so forgive me if they have been.

Happy reading-

And study these well fellas! Take my work for it. Dana REALLY knows his
stuff and these articles are worth their weight in gold.

Thanks a lot John. I had read them before (last year) but couldn't find them anymore. You're right, superb articles from a master...
