I am currently building 2 Orders for Customers in the USA (Boston and Denver): OM Pao Ferro & Sitka Bearclaw, and OM Granadillo & Carpathian.
Boxes are close from completion (done for the Pao Ferro, bracing to carve for the Granadillo), and I am pretty happy about results of the series of tests I runned on those instruments. I haven't worked with Pao Ferro & Granadillo before, and those woods are sooo dense & Glassy... those guitars will be pretty special, indeed!
For the first time on my instruments, I have used 315 grade High Clarity Hot Hide glue for side-braces & the entire top (except bridgeplate/central X of the bracing/Rosette-plate reinforcement). I am amazed by this glue, and I won't go back again! Of course, I will continue to use other glues like Titebond I & III, Epoxy, Gorilla, but my world changed since I have Immersed in the HHG Pool!
