Nice scalloping. Must be hard to work in such a confined area. I have a friend that scallops a lot of cheaper guitars to see how much tone he can exude. I had him do one of my boxes and it had a lot more sustain. Nice work.
So you take a little down then string up to pitch watching the top?
Do you use a straight edge while looking in front and in back of the bridge?
That has to be a bit nerve wracking? Yet nothing ventured nothing gained.
Glad to hear you are happy with the improved tone.
I always wondered why some makers over brace their tops?
I guess they don't want to see the instrument again, perhaps re-top.
Warranty work over responsiveness, I suppose.
