Lyn #15 - Solid-body Nylon Acoustic

[Simon Barden]

I was going to suggest Ovation Adamas type holes as well. Especially as F-holes (or more correctly, their placement) were designed to reduce note sustain to allow very short notes to be heard more precisely.

Very nice work on the body cavities.

Thanks mate. I've learnt a lot during this build but I've still got lots of opportunities for stuff ups. lol.

@Simon
Thanks mate. I didn't realise that Ovation had an "Adamas" range, which I am sure has been designed to enhance the quality of their guitars. But I doubt that any hole/holes are going to make much acoustic difference to my beastie, so they will be purely decorative. I just want it to look purdy.

Thanks guys.

I think I have got the innards sorted. I hope so because once the body is glued together access to the insides is going to be a bit of a problem.

I have the mounting hole for the piezo controller all routed out


Sorted out where the wiring is going


And I’ve carved out a hole in the back so hopefully it will give me access to feed the Peizo through to the bridge.

And I’ve even carved out an “f” hole, of sorts.

First rough cut


After a bit of a tidy up.



I will probably spend a bit more time on it, but that’s the general idea.

It is finally time to glue the body parts together. If I have forgotten anything after tomorrow it will to too bad. Lol.

Noice. Very Noice.

Thanks Fanky

Wow Robin, just finally caught up with reading all 8 pages of this build and totally awe struck with your ingenious workmanship and use of home made hand tools too.

Looks great and really like the original F hole.

Cheers, Waz

Thanks Waz. Its been a lot of fun to date. I am still not convinced that its all going to work, but hey, I'm learning heaps along the way.

Cheers mate.

Keeps you out of getting up to any other mischief.
