  • Acoustic build – documenting on instagram

    I’ve been documenting progress of an acoustic kit build from Amazon over on Instagram, would love for some feedback from those that know more than I do. My goal is to build only with the materials provided in the kit, though I’m definitely using as many tools as I have at my disposal. I’m not expecting a quality instrument at the end of it, but I at least want it well built 🙂 Looking forward to any feedback I can get. Thanks.

    Hey Aaron! Greetings from down the road in West Hartford.

    One of the things that I don’t like about Instagram is its inability to weave a narrative. Check out this presentation I did on a site called “Bublup” https://rolls.bublup.com/view/b8cdd061-fc88-493a-a487-7ff5f5f112fc

    The top photo is essentially a basic webpage about the build. And, if you click on the lower picture, you get the presentation (roll) mode of the app.

    best,

    Rick

      Thanks, I love this format for the build document. Will have to look into it some more. Love the Fairbanks guitars, been following them for some time because his work in impressive… hope that guitar continues to get lots of love.

    I just did a deeper dive on their website and they have added a lot of nice features since I last checked. Of course, the features are in the ‘paid’ tier, but hey, someone has to pay for the electricity. A suggestion: sign up for the free plan and start playing with it. It has a lot of capability and is intuitive. My only concerns would be: Will the company still be around in a few years? And, as a backup, can I download a copy of the presentation?

    I started playing with the app about five years ago and they’re still around. Plus, I’m pretty sure that the answer to the second question is, “yes.”
