Rumbas on number 93

necks

Here you have the necks ready for assembly. I prefer to leave the central part of the neck square. It makes fretting easyer. Finishing the neck is the last thing I do on a guitar.

headstocks 94 - 95

94 left 95 right.

Building of number 94 and 95 started

So, 2 new guitars have been started while French polishing and doing final setup.
Number 94 (to the left) is a cedar top classical guitar based on the design of Hernández y Aguado and number 95 is a spruce top blanca with an inlayed soundport.

Number 93 finished

Here´s the cedar top blanca hybrid. I think she´s very pretty.

Number 92 finished

So here she is, ready to fly away to Reunion in the Indian sea.

guitar 91 finished

So here she is, ready to go to Holland

preparing and gluing the bridge

I´ve finished the French polishing and next step is gluing the bridge. First I have to scrape away the French polish from the soundboard where the bridge is going to be glued.

inspiration

Inspiration is important whan you build instruments. You must feel good, be there, relaxed and in harmony. Every sunny day when I enter my workshop in the morning, this is what i meet. A bright orange light. Its never the same it always changes depending on the time and the angle of the sun.

Boat building

When French polishing, its a good time for building boats (or something else).. FP takes time and you´ll have days doing very little.

91-93 ready for French polishing

Building has ended and I have started the preparation for the French polishing. From left to right 91, 92 and 93.
