this guy speaks with such precision and clarity .........he's a materials engineer and a scientist and ......oh yeah.....he also builds guitars.......I have an emerald green 96 fly....that I bought in 96 for $2600......I was playing it tonight.....never goes out of tune......I stopped playing guitar for 2 years once and when I got back at it the fly was still in tune......and I wasn't surprised

Thanks very much, I'm so glad you love your Fly guitar!

Ken has a way of drawing you in to the subject. I love his methods, which on the one hand are very radical and on the other steeped in the tradition.

Just trying to be a good student/problem solver. Thanks!

I mean, as an Italian, I never heard of chestnut being used for anything other than firewood. But also not an open fireplace as it spits ambers like crazy. So, I’m happy I got to learn something about a tree I have climbed so many times in my childhood. This channel has really inspired me to look at things a little differently in my guitar making. However, I’m not sure I’m ready to depart from a dovetail beck joint. Although I’d love to experiment with some less orthodox neck joints. Anyway. It’s always a pleasure to watch all of this. I feel lucky I get to lay in bed and watch a master luthier

What fun! Tree climbing! I remember it fondly. Thanks for your praise! The neck joint is a good example of a hill that can be climbed from many directions. I think that as long as it isn't loose, it's probably OK. I think this is nicely demonstrated by the joint that I devised and like so much. With strings off, the neck is free to wiggle a little, so it's the forces of string tension that makes it behave like a firm connection. Orthodoxy, like "tradition", is in the eye of the beholder. One of my favorite traditional instruments is a hollow log and a stick.

I appreciate that!

Very interesting. A little more of a process than I was envisioning.

@kenparkerarchtoppery9440 4 месяца назад

Yeah, it creeps up on you. We're not nearly done, though!

Watching you bend the veneer by hand has me wondering how it would do with being placed in a steamer box for some persuasion... or would the epoxy/linen not withstand that kind of heat?

@kenparkerarchtoppery9440 4 месяца назад

I wouldn't count on the epoxy hanging in for long in live steam. I'm showing you what works for me, do your thing, and good luck/fun!

With all of the necks that you have built using this process, what is the failure rate? Seems you have a system that is almost perfect. A tiny bit skill required, but relatively easy to learn. I know that epoxy is exactly as you describe from a dozen years of exposure. Sanding after two days is totally different than a week. From gummy to powder.

@kenparkerarchtoppery9440 4 месяца назад

I have yet to experience a failure of any of these many necks of any kind. I did lots of testing at the start in 2004 - 5, hoping to use room temperature cure resins, and I learned they aren't up to the task.

@Ramplcro 4 месяца назад

Are you sure that piece that you bent was only 0.2 mm thick? Seems more like cca 1 mm

@kenparkerarchtoppery9440 4 месяца назад

Sorry for the confusion, mate, it's the linen that I was talking about, it's .2mm or .008" thick, the thinnest linen cloth available, as I understand it. The wood varies from 1.4 - 2mm

@svgs650r 10 дней назад

I wonder if he ever tried a slip-roller, apply even pressure across the entire piece in incremental steps

@kenparkerarchtoppery9440 10 дней назад

Could be a cool idea, except I think you would have to use a piece that was substantially oversize in width in order to get the material started, as a result of the distance between the rollers.
