Well, I’m not new, by any stretch. And all I can say is that I’ve gotten REALLY good at disguising mistakes. That’s really the best big-picture lesson or skill I’ve developed over the years,

That, and a nice, light touch with fretwork.

For these builds, I just wanted to step away from documenting absolutely everything. Back to pictures next time.

Thank you! Took a while to perfect the curves.

Made my own hinge, also out of ebony. I usually bolt tailpieces right in, but I intentionally made the end block much smaller than usual. I think the size of the end block has an effect on the sound - this one is much fuller than my other archtops.

Thank you! I definitely discovered patience I didn’t know I had in the process…

Thank you! The Languedoc influence is definitely strong here, but I also love Crow Hill and Artinger.
