    Making a Benedetto style Archtop Guitar

    Photocopies $6:63

    Armed with Robert Benedetto’s, “Making An Archtop Guitar.” 2nd edition and unwarranted self belief, I took my first step today by copying the templates to the correct size. It will be a stop, start, slow build with large time gaps between progress. I’ll be keeping a tally of expenses as I go. I thought I’d be able to use some scrap wood around the house for moulds but I don’t have what I need. Next step will be a trip to the big green shed for plywood.
    Quote from John Henry Newman at the start of chapter 8 (Linings and side braces),
    “A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault.”
