Fascinating to hear about your almost Zen like approach to voicing. Therein lies the “art and mystery” of the luthier, to borrow the phrase applied to 17th century British artisans upon mastering their respective trades. The care you apply to this part of the build is evident in the amazing tone and responsiveness of your guitars. Thanks for posting these insights into your process and I’m glad the chisel works for you.
