I always wondered if there existed such a thing as spruce top. Thanks for confirming! Also, your work is admirable, wish I had such skills.

I was in Croatia just a couple of weeks ago in fact, on the island Krk.

i'm glad you wre in croatia

so how do you like krk? why you didn't come to krk before 2-3 months? on summer is action, now are only old people tourists

Kølabrennern · 10-08-2008, 12:13 PM

I liked it a lot, it was small and peaceful, just like I like it! I'm not much of a party animal, so that it was silent and that the only other people around were old timers didn't really bother me, haha. We'll hopefully go back there next summer though, so I'll get to see summertime as well.

Sorry for the off-topic, haha.

epiphones have some stuff that is not like on gibson, for example, binding is too thin, so i will be forced to replace that to, and it is not small job

Yes I know I was just fooling around...I just now stumbled onto this thread once more...interesting

I don't remember reading this

I think you stopped being a "Hobby Luthier" long ago. Your work is very professional. Considering the hand tools you are using for these jobs, it's simply amazing. True old world European craftsmanship lives.
