Hi all,
It's been a little over a year since my last build. That was my "Gregory Apartian" copy, a 1940's Greek made parlor guitar particularly suited to Rembetika music.
I've had a lot of encouraging (not electrical) feedback about that guitar so I decided to make another pair of them to see if they will sell!
I'm making a pair because I figure "think once, do twice" saves time!
I'm at the body binding stage at the moment. I haven't really done much neck yet except gluing up the blank and the moustache bridges still need carving.
Hopefully the photos will feature some of the time saving tools and jigs we all love, and some ways of getting around problems!
Anyway, a few pictures to be going on with
Not identical twins!
