He has some interesting approaches to construction, and to overcoming intonation problems inherent to "traditional" guitar designs, etc.
Pretty interesting.
I've actually heard a couple of them as well... nice sounding instruments. |
Interesting idea. I'd like to run onto one of those.
The problems he describes, of guitars deforming themselves with string pressure, used to keep me employed. I fixed many guitars with bad action(Jackson). It's a real balancing act to put it all together (making one, that is) and have it come out sounding good but still be strong enough to withstand all the pressure.
I read about and saw pictures of a Maccafarri (sp) guitar used by D'jango Reinhardt years ago. it wasn't an arch top, f-hole design, but it had the trapeze tail piece bridge arrangement. Some controversy on which style gives the best sound. The fellow in the link appears to be taking elements of both.
