    Really interesting idea. I'll be curious to see how well this works out. I like how you brought the production cost down from 50¢ to 12¢. 😁 Thanks for sharing!

    I feel like all of Tim's guitars are either super modern styled or the 1960's soviet style. Love them. Someday I might have to make a funny lookin' guitar!

    • @timsway
      @timsway  2 года назад

      Very astute. I love the stye of the oddballs and imports from the early days of the instruments, before Fender and Gibson homogenized the market, but I'm trying to make them with a modern edge and practices - eco-consciously.

    • @timsway
      @timsway  3 года назад

      well put but sometimes it's just the "right" bridge for the bass. I have added little set screws to them in the past to keep them from moving around, lightly tapped in to the body.

      Yes! Or carving deeper in to the fret wire on the edges. These are "blanks" to be finished to fit the guitar.

    Doesn't this style of guitar have inntonation problems? I'd like to make one to save money on a guitar build but I also have to take into account the lack of adjustable intonation. Thoughts?

    • @timsway
      @timsway  3 года назад

      They are not as easy/accurate to intonate as a modern style fully articulated bridge, but I was easily able to get the two basses I built well intonated.

      Stone sounds interesting. I've made nuts from brass and aluminum. I like using metal and heavy wood like ebony. I don't use bone because that's kinda gross :)

    Tim, please stop with the DIY. If you are going to continue to do luthier videos, get it right and actually learn about correct practices in the luthier realm. Please step up your knowledge and skills. Or just make furniture. You keep popping up in my luthier que and your crude final products are good practices and kind of ugly.
