Can you be bothered to make your own guitar? Or is it easier to buy a Yamaha off the shelf?
Heh heh, odd you mention that Jon. I have just signed up for a workshop in 2017 with a local guitar builder and will be building a copy of my 1958 0017 Martin all mahogany guitar but as a 12 string. Will be a challenge as the bracing will be all different and need designing as Martin's 12 strings don't have a good track record and my builder pal figures it's their bracing. I should learn a lot in that 2 week workshop.
re: my guitar...I looked for nearly 30 years before I found "my" guitar...tried lots, even a hand built one and nothing ever fit till I picked up "Martina" in the 2nd Encore music shop.
I think I'm more of a crafts person in the traditional mode(retired high end custom leather maker), work with the hands and materials to hand more than the brain...it runs in the background firing intuitive circuits when needed...I really dunno why this math block exists in me, most stuff, non math, comes really easy...I suspect a bad introduction to it as a child, but thanks for taking the time to try and encourage me. I'll still mess with them when I see 'em in a .tgc, and I'll post a WOO HOO if I ever grok 'em, hee hee hee
