3 guitars are in progress :
- one flattop spruce / koa
- one OM flattop Sitka / mahogany
- one archtop 17" spruce / maple

Back from Montreal. Great show one more time. Thanks to the Spectra team ( especially to Jacques-Andre and Arno ) and to Jacques Carbonneaux and Noël Alfonsi.
Here is a short article at Laguitare.com.
I would also like to thank François Vendramini for the picture on the right.

I take the plane for Montreal tomorrow.
The shop will be closed until july, 10.
You will find the opening days of the shop for this summer at the "Contact" page.

Here is a new archtop guitar completed. It is a small and compact guitar ( 15" ) with a very plain style.

The method I now use to prepare the curved braces for the flattop guitars.

The waste of side plates can be used to make bindings. But when they are cut with a bandsaw, the bottom of these bindings need to be sanded clean. Here is a simple way to do that.

Here is a quick tip to verify the neck alignment before gluing the fingerboard.
