After the success of my resonator build, I have decided to have a go at another acoustic. The PitBull Guitars site has some FH-5V kits which do not have (due to a factory mistake) a neck or pup route and also no drilled pot/jack holes. It is an archtop and does have f-holes with binding.
I thought I could make something to resemble an "old school folk guitar" with no electronics.
I have also collected a few different resources - Grover (98 series) openback tuners, tail piece and wooden bridge (but I may not use them).
Routing the neck pocket will be the first (and biggest) challenge!
