Boyfriend just got a used classical through reverb. Question about high action6mo ⋅ knitpurlhurl ⋅ r/Luthier
I’ve been chiming in on a lot of posts here figured I’d share my experience and my latest build. I’ve been wrenching on guitars for about 23 years, about 20 of those professionally. I’ve worked for 2 different majors manufactures and have run 2 different repair shops.1yr ⋅ whitebeltshit ⋅ r/Luthier

In response to all those who ask “where to start”. My first build was a bamboo rice paddle micro one string with a walnut shell bridge. Because it’s played with a slide there’s no need for frets and the lack of markers has served as ear training. PUT A STRING ON A THING!5yr ⋅ TandemRunBike ⋅ r/Luthier
