I'd also chip in that 12 frets to the body also makes a…"
Dave Lewis replied to Andy3Sheds's discussion Carved tops in the group Acoustic Archtops"I'm no expert on this, but it seems to me that a lot of this has to do with a perception of artistry and esthetics. There are some fine high-end archtops with laminated tops - Dale Unger's sell for well over $5,000 and sound…"
Michael S. Jackson replied to Andy3Sheds's discussion Carved tops in the group Acoustic Archtops"Someone once said: A guitar is a tree that doesn't yet know it's dead. Or something like that.
When you press-shape wood, it wants to go back to its origninal shape. It tends to push outward (to flatten but the sides hold it in) and this…"

Carved tops
I know its taken as given that a carved top on an archtop is preferable to a formed/pressed top. But why is that?Surely the severing of wood fibres in the caving process inhibits vibration. Can anyone explain?See More

Hi Andy -thanks for friend response. It seems both comprehensive and complicated here! I'm not great at keeping up with all these internet thingies I join, but I'll try to look in now and again somme other familiar faces too! Best wishes, Keith

- Yes, indeed - that's the one! I saw it in high school - hilarious! I need to find a copy of that on dvd...

I loved Fawlty Towers too! Have a few dvd's, but not all...
Also, John Cleese in "Clockwise" (I believe...) - great film!

I have to ask, is your name in any way a reference to the Monty Python skit about Arthur "Twosheds" Jackson?

Luis Motta da Silva said… - Hi, Andy,
I did receive, and I did accept your invitation to join the fingerstyle players group. Thank you. If I'm entitled to a bit of humour, I'd say you can't deny I don't use picks, I play with my fingers, that's true. But my American fingerpicking days are long gone. Portuguese guitars are played using only the thumb and the index finger, as you can see in the videos I posted in my page. Now, here's a tip for those that want to have strong nails: Just paint them with liquid superglue. It's almost invisible. Two or three layers, buff, and that's it!
