L. Mills

Twelve-year GAL member Larry Mills is also a member of the MLG, i.e., the Midwest Luthiers Guild. I guess that makes him a MLG/GAL. Isn’t that the slag term for a nonwizard? He’ll just have to use a chisle like the rest of us.

▪ Replacing the conventional guitar tail block with an access panel is an appealing idea whose time has come. Why you should use it and how it is made is the focus of this article. This may be the first article of its kind. Pretty humorous, too. With 15 photos.

▪ An introduction to free plate and fixed plate voicing of the guitar top, the latter using a jig to fix the braced plate much as it will be on the guitar, though tapping is used as the driver, not strings. Interesting, and a good presentation of current bracing notions. With 8 photos.
