Great find!
What gauges & tuning do you have planned for this?

What a find!
When it's back together, will it get played at all?
Surely whoever has it will be too busy just staring at the back!

It's like putting a mustache on the most beautiful woman....

Ha! I thought that was traditional in Norway, Steinar?

Only my own mustache... Razz

I don't normally "LOL" online, ...

Great stuff Paddy.
I'd pop round & say HI if I wasn't on the other side of the planet!

Beautiful - what tuning are you using?
DADFAD

Man, I just floated away listening to that...

Such a smooth & languid style, great phrasing!
I totally agree with Mr Cunningham about the ad-libbing at the end... Cool

more of that please!

Excellent!
Just subbed.
This will be a real help to ease me out of the open D/E comfort-zone.
Thanks Mike!

I'm not an idiot, bars sound different, don't get me wrong. I just don't believe length of sustain is directly linkable to weight above a certain point. Yes, you definitely have to have a certain weig ...

Here's my take on it...

Tone is a subjective thing, but sustain is measurable as a decay of string vibration over time.
Simple physics dictates that the more mass a bar has, the longer the sustain ...

Hey Jeffrey, I can make a fretboard for your next project.
I can do the clear (plexiglass/acrylic) reverse-engraved, or capped laminate / wood fretboards with or without inlays.

Hey Rob, I'm glad you like the hollowneck website!

Hi Chris,
Is this what you used? If so, they sell it by the individual roll for $37.68, thanks.

Ron, that could be the same stuff but I'm ...

Ron, the 3M I've used has "SM 467 MP, 200MP Adhesive" on the backing paper if that helps.
It's better than "double-sided tape" (although it's often referred to as such) as there's ...

If you want some pictures for your web site tell me...

Yes please Bob, just email some over & I'll post them up for you. Cool

Stunning work, Bob, you should be proud!

That'll be one sweet guitar.
She'll sound amazing in your hands, Rob. Cool

It would be interesting to hear a "back-to-back" recording of this (when she's finished & played in a while) ...

We use glue
Recommend against All Screws.

Just kidding! Laughing

You don't want to glue on one of those clear acrylic fretboards, you'll see the glue!

That is indeed beautiful!!!

Co-incidentally, I have had some designs on the drawing-board for the past year or so, inspired by that same Regal shape, for a new Bristolian.

This one (Non-Rickenbacher) is perhaps a bit more interesting...

Hmmm...
The shape is wrong for a Shubb.
It does look like a LapDawg but it's too long...
So, maybe a well-used Long-Dawg?

Thanks for that, James!

Shame about looknohands though, I much prefer the horizontal fretboard display...
I'll try emailing Erik & ask what's up.

Thanks for posting about this fascinating guitar!

Looks like a "Lute-inspired" carved soundhole/rosette, to match that bowed back which looks kinda like an old European bowlback Mandolin. ...
