Building an Archtop Guitar Part 7 - Fretting, Tailpiece & Accessories

Join Patrick Newill of Newill Guitars embarking on a build of a new archtop guitar model - The Grasshopper. This is Part 6 in the full build series. In this episode, I start and finish the fretwork. The neck is then set into the pocket and the guitar has taken shape! Then the accessories start. All accessories are matching the beautiful African Blackwood fingerboard. Pickup rings, bridge, and tailpiece are all made and finished. Website: Facebook: Instagram: This video series is meant to show the rough process. I do not give explanations or voiceovers as to the techniques I am using. This is by no means a comprehensive how-to! If you are interested at an in depth look at my process, consider following my blog on Medium for this build!
