OK, back to the shop. 🫣😬🎸🎶
.
I find myself planning to pare the 12 string down even further. The action is low, I can’t hit it hard at all, and there’s a little shim under the saddle too.
.
I think I can take the shoulders off the neck a bit and let it fall forward a bit.
.
I’m thinking since it really doesn’t have the cash value that I think it should anyway, my luthier/broker said so, that I might as well see if I can get it closer to small enough for me. It seems OK, but not for very long. It’s already too fat, I can’t be only raising the strings without taking something off, this is the only way I can fix that, I mean for my hands.
.
It’s the back of the neck I’ll be pressing on, shouldn’t stress the breaks, whereas pressing on the front might open them up.
Might! Did already, both of ‘em.
.
My only problem is I already tried to get this wood off and failed the first time. I need to make a jig to keep the tools at the right angle, something probably around sixty degrees. I want to see a long flat spot. Then I suppose I’ll want the strings off and the shim out, and if that’s happening I can put the final tuners on.
.
Once more into the breach, my friends.
.
Not immediately, I have to work out this jig business first.
