The father of a school friend of mine was a Cabinet Maker from Ware, Herts who made Radio Controlled models, violins and guitars in his spare time. Here’s his first example – its a maple body, spruce to with a mahogany (?? Can’t see it for the flaking lacquer) neck & rosewood fingerboard.
It needs new topbracing, splits in the top repairing and the neck heel has started to delaminate. It’s going to get new purfling & binding in cherry red padauk, a rosewood bridge & fingerboard & new tuners
