David, I like the "broken" back strip.
It looks as if it allows the waves to pass through from one side to the other. Nice touch! Steve |

Hey Rob ... thanks for taking the time! Good eye regarding the back strut pattern. I usually use radial strutting on the back. One of the biggest advantages to getting a guitar that is hand made by a small number of craftsmen (in my case ... one!) is that the craftsperson develops a very visceral connection with the wood ... as it's selected, thicknessed, tapped, bent etc etc. After working with this spectacular set of Bubinga, I realized that I wanted the resonance and tap tone that I normally get from 4 back struts, so that's the direction I went. You may also notice that I did a partial double side from the headblock to the waist. I did this to beef up the structure of the frame in that area. Wood definitely talks to you, if you've got the experience to listen.

Hi Steve ... thanks! It's been fun doing the slightly different (for me) treatment to the back strip and end graft!
