At least 138%!

Your work makes me so excited about starting a build project apart from trying to get the baglama playable. Can’t wait to see the next update!

Thanks guys!

I posted that last photo on a few of my facebook groups and after about the sixth time of answering PMs asking how I do my faux-veneer I decided to make it easier on myself…


So now you know too. :slight_smile:

Here’s another little infographic I made because I remember @steve.harder2012 mentioned having trouble aligning a bridge…


Just ignore the fact that I haven’t gotten around to replacing the guitar nut with a bass nut yet.

Thank you.

I save all your instruction pictures so I can reference them in the future. That gave me an idea: Would you mind me putting them in a category on the Groove & Scale Practice Website ? Like a new category “Building instructions & glossary” or something.

This thread will sooner or later be lost and I thought it would be cool to have a kind of building glossary online. I can’t just steal pictures from existing online tutorials but yours I could put online if you’re okay with it!? No work required on your part and I’ll credit you on the website with whatever alias you like and optionally a link to… where you want it to go.

That, is absolute genius! I’m absolutely going to do this! Thanks @Korrigan!
