Nice, keep us posted here on the forum. It's always inspiring to see other builds.<br />
<br />
I've made a short(er) summary of the Stradivari article on my blog.<br />

<p>I've recently subscribed, so I'm looking forward to reading your article. Mine won't be an exact copy, I'm intending to simplify it in places as it is my first guitar build.</p>

Great! The Hill is a beautiful guitar.<br />
<br />
If you are making a Stradivari be shure to check out my article on his guitars in American Lutherie of this summer.<br />
<br />
There are some later additions and changes made to the Hill guitar that almost any contemporary maker copies.

<p>I just wanted to thank everybody who contributed to this thread, I have now started building a baroque guitar, which will be mostly based on the Ashmolean Stradivarius. This is my first v-joint, the seams are a little more visible than I would like, but they are less visible on the back and the front will be veneered, so hopefully nobody will find out!</p>

<p>Hello Gavin, Jonathan, It has just struck me that 64 cm is rather short for a baroque guitar string length. I don't have your drawing, but on-screen I can see that the present 12th fret is some distance from the mid-string-length position. Has the neck been shortened? As happened to so many guitars around 1800.</p>

<p>Hi, it is 640mm according to Jonathan's excellent drawing (which fortunately is hanging up in my office until I find time to build the thing)</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Can you give me the string length of this 1700 Strad? There is no info on the NMM web page and I found 3 possible values on the internet (640mm, 650mm and 743mm).</p>

<p>Hi Jonathan, I already have your drawing of the Rawlins Strad, which is excellent, very clear and detailed, the inset photographs work really well (I also have Barber's drawing of the Ashmolean Strad, which is also very good). I have had to shelve my plans to make a Baroque guitar for the moment as I am not confident enough in my woodworking skills, so I am going to build another lute instead as a confidence-building exercise before I attempt a baroque guitar.

I have had to shelve my plans to make a Baroque guitar for the moment as I am not confident enough in my woodworking skills, so I am going to build another lute instead as a confidence-building exercise before I attempt a baroque guitar. Many thanks for your offer of help, it is much appreciated, and I expect I will have questions once I start work!</p>
