Ok, getting along the road with this FS, here's a pic of us bending the sides. East Indian looks beautiful with a little water sprayed on it - and of all the rosewoods, it bends great...typically.
But since this is a 12 fret guitar, we thought the future owner might enjoy having a cutaway in it, so there's some extra bending required.
And then magically, as if we're skipping through the dew here in East Texas, the rim assembly is not only put together for shape, but the back is already on awaiting the top to close the box.
As you can see with our very expedited photologue, this guitar is coming along nicely. I'll have some more pics in our journey coming along shortly.
Thanks.
