Am Sonntag, 26. November findet im Tägi in Wettingen die Gitarrenmesse ‘Guitars and More’ statt. Ich werde auch wieder ausstellen und freue mich darüber, an meinem Stand besucht zu werden.
Neck Shaping
I’m shaping the neck of my new steel string guitar right now. This is all done by hand.
I start with chisels and a small plane, then switch to a rasp and different files and finish the job with different grades of sandpaper.
This takes a lot of patience and involves a couple of blisters and sore wrists. But at the end, I have a neck which looks and feels like a guitar neck which in the beginning was a couple of wooden pieces, which makes up for all the pain.
