So I'm about to finish up a new DVD on cutaways. I wanted to give a couple away. You don't have to buy anything. Simply send an e-mail to: freedvd@mayesguitars.com and you are entered. No message is needed in the subject. Put your name in the topic. I'll draw a couple names either late this week, or Monday next week. That's it. Good luck. If you have any questions e-mail me direct (not at the address above as that is only for contest purposes) You'll be notified by e-mail if you win (or not) and I'll post the names of the winners here too. -John |

Will you be covering both Venetian and Florentine cutaways? |

Marcus wrote: Will you be covering both Venetian and Florentine cutaways? No. I will be doing a Florentine. They are vastly more complicated (my opinion), harder to execute in both binding, and assembly. The only thing you would want to see in a soft cutaway not described in great detail on this video (mentioned briefly, but not much) is bending the cutaway curve on a venetian. Other than that everything else translates, and then some. I'll be showing full mitering and binding, bending, assembly, ect on a sharp cut, as well as I'll cover all the major points of difference between a non-cut and a cut. I don't cover the soft cutaway for a couple reasons. First because of the above reasons. Secondly because I only make sharp cutaways these days and don't have my jigs for soft cuts handy. |

There is still time to enter. I'll finish filming in the next couple days, and then I'll spend a couple days editing, ect. Then I'll pick a winner. I've had some other questions about the topics covered. While this doesn't mention them all the main points I cover are the differences between a cutaway and a non cutaway. Some of those include: - Side Profiles - Marking/measuring cutaway positioning and cutting it - Bending the cutaway section - Making and gluing blocks - Bowl sanding - Lining and angles - Brace layout - Boxing up - Binding the cutaway tip, and neck side - full mitering of purfling on all points and edges - Neck alignment So far I've ran through 2 hours worth of raw film. I still have the binding to go. I'll update my site that has all my dvd's for sale on it when it is available ( www.mayesguitars.com/newvdvd.html ). Till then follow the instructions in the first post and enter the contest if you like. Again no purchase necessary. |

I'll draw a winner later tomorrow (Friday) evening. So if you've no entered yet (have over 100 entries) then now is your last chance. I've filmed the entire video (over 3 hours of footage) and I'll be editing for the next couple days. Here is a really quickly thrown together teaser: http://www.mayesguitars.com/cutaways.mov Must have quicktime to view. It's about 6mb for you dial up users. |

Johnathan, there was obviously a spelling error as that should read Darryl Young. Right part of the country, just wrong name. Hey I finished my first build. Need to let you play it and see what you think. Darryl |

That'd be great to check out your guitar, congrats on completing one. I'm pretty booked up for the rest of this month but let's meet up sometime in May. |
