Classical neck removal :: 1969 Guild Mark III
Here's a late night neck pull on a classical guitar. Normally you don't do neck resets on traditionally-built classical's, but this happens to be a late 60's Guild Mark III with a steel-string style dovetail. I'll let it breathe for the night before beginning finish touch-ups and refitting.
The neck was removed here.
Chubbuck Rogue 005 :: neck fit & glue-up
Exciting times! Finally getting back to a couple acoustic builds. Rogue 005's neck is glued up and ready for the bridge, fretwork and final setup. The new Kalliope 001 jumbo is right behind this one.
Chubbuck acoustics :: Rogue & Kalliope mock up.
The first Chubbuck guitar builds in the new shop are getting ever closer (finally!). The necks for Rogue 005 (left) and Kalliope 001 (right) need their rear head laminates and fingerboards glued up before being ready to carve. So far I'm really happy with the new Kalliope design. I tried to borrow the lines of the Rogue and scale them up to a larger body.
Chubbuck acoustics :: Kalliope 001 and Rogue 005 neck fits.
Kalliope 001 [front] and Rogue 005 [rear] necks are being fit this week along with the fingerboards bound. Neck carves are hopefully scheduled for this weekend.
Rogue 005 is still available and the neck can be carved to your specs if interested. Please contact me for details.
