Official Luthiers Forum!

Hi my name is Milan,this is my first three builds,be honest and tell me what you think

Cool!
I like the paint jobs.
I wonder how the acoustic will sound with such a small soundhole.
Maybe heavy on the bass?

Lookin' good! And i too like the paint job.
And you've gone further than me. I have yet to build an acoustic, although I'm working on a hybrid of the acoustic and electric that I plan on posting a thread about soon.
Good work, and welcome to the forum!

Very cool....How did you do that red & white paint job??

Hello, Milan. I like your guitars, but I see something on the flat top acoustic that worries me. It looks as though the center joint on the top isn't tight near the tail. It looks almost as if the join has sprung open.
I would examine that very, very carefully, and if it's a problem with the joint, I'd stop right now, remove the top, remove any internal bracing, and re-joint that top seam. You can always re-apply new braces, and if re-jointing makes the top a bit narrower, you can widen your bindings to compensate for that.

I think the built in carrying handle on the red streaked electric is a very nice idea. I've never seen anything quite like that--very stylish and cool looking.

Go onto YouTube and search for "guitar swirl paint". There's lots of demos there.

Thanks man on coment,thats what you see isn the crack it is the pencil mark,top is made of three parts so thejoint isnt on the midle of the body.But a have another problem,the place where tenon need to cut isnt flat.any way thanks.

well a have only one advice,use chip wood for your first build.for all three guitar a was cut wood in my one forest.

I like that acoustic! maybe you could consider a sound port on the top of the upper bout, since that soundhole is so tiny!

Sorry a didnt say nothing about guitars,acoustic guitars is made of cherry (back and sides),very very low qualiti spruce,neck is from walnut,swirl electric is made of swamp ash (body)and oak neck (dried of for about 50 years).And the unfinisahed elektric guitar is the copy of musicman jpx6 ,body is from maple (with tone chambers)and basswood as a top.All this guitars are test models.

a didnt want to make rosset,here comes wery raini period and rosset would take me soo much time,and a regular hole whit outh rosete for me is ugly,so i did this a hope to some jazz sound similar like maccafery guitars.sorry because of bad english

I like your bad English!
My wife is Serbian.
Both mom and dad.
Her grandparents moved here a long time ago.

Milan,
Your English is just fine. We can understand you very well. And if you continue to correspond with us, your English will get better and better! I am glad to know I was only seeing a pencil line in your top. I did NOT see the joins for the three pieces. Very nice craftsmanship, my friend!
Patrick

Really nice guitars - welcome to the forum!
