Jimmie, the reso kit looks real good. I have a couple of questions:
+ Are full-size or scale drawings included?
+ Do you recommend making any construction forms, molds, jigs or so on to assemble this reso?
+ Is the fretboard included? I didn't see one in the photo.
+ Is it a bolt-on neck? It looks like it to me.
+ Is there enough material in the headstock to do a slotted headstock?
+ Are these solid woods or laminates pictured here? Your web site mentions birch body parts and mahogany neck.
Good luck with this and looking forward to your replies. Thanks.

The drawings will be available as soon as the printing company gets them to me. Hopefully in the next few weeks.
The mold for assembly can be bought from Blues Creek Guitars. Just ask for the Hudson D12 dobro mold.
The kit comes with a pre slotted Cherry fretboard.
It is not in the photo. I will try to get a photo on my web page of the fretboard soon.
The neck is bolt on.
The neck is not designed to be a slotted headstock.
I can make the neck blank with the material to do the slotted headstock. All you have to do is ask for the slotted headstock neck blank when you order the kit.
The Birch is Laminate. I will be offering other woods for front back and sides in the future.
This has been a big project for me for several months now. I will be doing some options for the kits in the future. Hope this helps. Thanks for your questions. |

Thank you for your quick answers. It seems evident to me that this is a big project and that you have put a lot of work into it.
Good luck to you with this!
