From Tyler: "This is not standard but was necessary on this build. The back was thinner then normal to start, so in order to be able to tune to the frequency that I needed, I chose this bracing pattern to increase stiffness so that I had room to bring it down to my target."

Here is some updates for this build:







The Mahogany neck was an extremely bright piece and felt out of place on the guitar so I decided to go with stain to dial it back a bit.


Grain fill prep


All of the coats are on and now we wait!
