Hahahha- the improvising isn’t suppose to be musical pre se- just enough to hear the general tone…. But sound samples on RUclips are stupid anyway.

Hahahhaha- yes the stauffer headstock is cool as are the tuners and the big engraved plate! One day I’ll make a guitar with that headstock but alas I’ve only done it on about 6 ukes

Hahahahh 🌹

Thanks Nick

Thank you

@@BeauHannamGuitars Will be curious to watch the varnishing process.

Thanks. On the relicing, I don’t have time to wait a few hundred years to get a similar look. Those guitar Petra plays are the Viennese style of body shape and they look good too. :)

Thanks

Hahahha

Thanks so much ❤️

I know a guy who makes em ;)

Thanks Carlos. Yes so do I- its a direction im going in for my building these days.

Hi- I didn't mention it but its a mortise and tenon with two bolts.

Hi- yes They are my favorite tuners for ukuleles (the Gotoh UPTL)- they are lighter and I did consider them but I wasn't sure is they could handle double the string tension. (as classical guitar has about double the string tension a uke does).

Hi Sammy- Thanks so much. I might try again a figure out the proper intervals for the headstock "Harp" area to play a chord or some such thing. Depending on the scale lenght and string tension, but some guitar bodies are actually to big and the top doesn't get driven efficiently (big car, little engine) . A smaller body often sounds surprisingly loud as the "engine" (string tension, scale length) matches the car size (smaller guitar body) better. Hope that makes sense.

@@BeauHannamGuitars Makes perfect sense. You certainly found a really nice balance with this one. Looking forward to seeing if the longer scale has as much "magic." I suspect it will. Thank you, sir!!

@@Sammywhat thank you ❤️

A man who knows his way around an analogy. Both of my careers respect!

@@Sammywhat Yes it is. My kids would say that headstock is fire. Of all the classicals I’ve built there have been five for me, two I eventually gifted and all five were 660s. For me that is the sweet spot. After seeing this I’m kinda ‘needing’ another personal build. I may even riff on that headstock. Very well done young man!

Thanks :)

Thanks so much.

Thank you and my pleasure

Cheers 🍻 ❤️

@@RaxFx thanks- you feed the string through the bridge, then pull the end out the soundhole to tie a knot in the end to create a ball (you can also use a bead), then pull the string back out and string it up per usual.

@@BeauHannamGuitars Doh! That make sense - was looking for more esoteric ways of doing it :-)

@@RaxFx hahah- it’s kinda like a normal steel guitar guitar string with a ball and bridge pin, but without the bridge pin.

@@cugir321 thank you 😊

Next Sabionari guitar I make Ill film the process :)

@@BeauHannamGuitars That would be nice!

@@DrRonaldSIpock Thanks Rob. you’re almost getting one with a Stauffer headstock :)

@@BeauHannamGuitars On remorse on my part. I'm just saying if it were 2001 all over again and you said "you can have the standard figure-eight shape instrument with a standandard headstock, or a klingon headstock" I would totally opt for the Klingon head stock.

Thanks so much :)

Thanks- I could tune the headstock but probably won’t ever get around to it- they are so short to get any nice sounds might make the headstock quite long

Thanks Chuck

Thanks- I mostly listen to John renbourn, Bert jansch and lute music

@@BeauHannamGuitarsVery nice. I recently learned "One for Jo" by Bert Jansch. The next to tackle is "Moonshine."

That is handy!!!! Thanks for the tip

Hi and my pleasure. I good medium action with a saddle that is around 1/8” above the top of the bridge is about 5/64th for all strings (about 2mm). To take the action down 1mm at the 12th fret, you have to remove 2mm at the saddle. Hope that helps.

@@BeauHannamGuitars Thanks I appreciate that.

@@lynpugs yes! Very handy for small things

Well, the second part I can answer since it's animal-based; yes. Or just keep a jar in your fridge, forget about it for a few months, then discover it and heat it up - because you want to drive everyone out of the house for the next 2 weeks. Don't ask me how I know, but here's a hint: Smells like rotting animal hide. 😀

So, I assume you've tested it after freezing? Wow. BTW, those silicon hhg holders are pretty neat. Think I could use them for ice cubes? (And you've no idea how much restraint it took not to say "pretty slick".)

Hahahha- once it’s frozen, there is no smell and this is the first time I’ve used them as I had normal (hard) ice cube tray for this. It’s totally fine to use reheated frozen hide glue. Just don’t reheat it too much.

@BeauHannamGuitars thanks, I'll have to try that. But if it's like the hide glue I've used til now, once I put it away, I won't find it again. Thank you. I'll be here all weekend. Tip your server, try the veal. Or is that the other way around???

this

@@froggycouple Hahahha- 20 years of practice

@@jeffcooper3433 Hahahha- it’s a little hair raising to do. One slip….

Thank you

@@joesantamaria5874 I wouldn’t do this on a bandsaw- when you band saw a curved thing that isn’t touching the base plate of the band saw it can instantly twist and bow you have two necks. Basic bandsaw safety.

Thank you

@@BeauHannamGuitars I watched the video in segments, and don’t remember your initial comments. That seemed to be a lot of time and labor lavished on an import guitar. The owner must love that instrument. Was there any discussion of whether the repair was economical vs. replacement cost? Genuinely curious.

@@joesantamaria5874 I can’t remember what I charged but it was worth it :)

Minimizes chipping finish when taking off the bridge and also making sure the bridge has a 100% wood to wood footprint when regluing.

I would use mixol and shellac now

Thank you so much. You just have to make each one as nice as you can :)

I’m listening to the sound they makes when dropped which somewhat translates to how good a material it is. Yes they are different dimensions but in could do nothing about that as the exotic materials were on loan. It is still a helpful test.

Thanks

Amen to that!!

Hahahah- back/sides are Bubinga and the top is Tasmanian Blackwood. The neck will have a stauffer scroll and will look super cool

@@BeauHannamGuitars Sounds like this will be quite the looker once complete. Please consider posting a short video showing off the results and maybe a sound sample?

@@red58impala oh yes, this will get the full sound sample etc :)

@@spencerdeaton7202 thanks Spence!

Yep

It’s a rough tuning device but it does help to hear those very low notes.

Thanks so much

I’m talking about using the sand papers scratch patterns in the finish to see if you have removed the previous grits scratches

@BeauHannamGuitars ok so your using it as a reference

@@guitjolin yep, sand in different direction s for each grit and if you can still see the scratches going in a direction you are not sanding in, you know you haven’t removed the previous grits scratches

This isn’t David’s- his is fancier!

Thank you
