I'm excited to get started on this build for Josh. He's been interested in an African Blackwood guitar for some time now. He does have a very gentle playing style so he wants a guitar that responds well to a light touch and has nice overtones.
Since he already has a Cedar topped Ryan with Brazilian back and sides, we decided to go for a spruce top. I selected an "Alpine/Italian" top from a big stack of AAA tops up at LMII. I am approaching this guitar with a more intimate knowledge of Josh's style of play and will build the guitar accordingly.
