Matthew,
I'll be following this one closely. Burton's work is so inspiring, the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. I finally got to meet him at SBAIC and enjoyed the visit and was equally impressed with the two guitars he brought. You've made a great choice on both the guitar and the luthier. |

This will be fun to watch, thanks for sharing! Steve |
This is a really cool build Matthew and Burton with all the history and what not! Will be following it closely :D

Here's a close look at that wonderful re-curve ... photo credit to Robert of course.

Thanks for the link, Burton. That's the same site that inspired me to use that shape, and the source of the photos I was using to develop plans. That's more than enough for me, but the X-rays would be interesting to see. You've been a major influence on my building techniques, we seem to agree on a lot of structural and aesthetic ideas. Thanks again.

Was the Martin original fan-braced ... x-braced .. or? And, what will this build be?

As others have said, I wouldn't think twice about it. My classical guitar built by master luthier Peter Oberg has a stacked Spanish Cedar heel. This has been the Spanish tradition for ages.

A cool photo of an original 1850s Martin 2-23, courtesy of Robert Corwin, showing a very similar rosette to what we'll be going with.

Wow, so cool. This is going to be a fun project to follow. When is Burton planning on starting?
