Today was busy in the shop! My #58, an FT-15 made from D. tucurensis, came in for a humidity related top crack repair, which I did for no charge, as is my way. No suggestion of neck geometry issues, which is reassuring.
Then 2 1/2 hours of Baroque era violin playing with my pal Louise.
Then, around 2:30 I got to work on stringing up the Jmat L00. It sounds better on the first run than the JB-L00 did on it's first, but that guitar has developed wonderfully since 3 weeks ago. The new one has the sound one expects (hopes for) from Brazilian, however, and the future looks rosy. Really rosy!!!
But wait, there's more! Yesterday I glued the Koa body to the Schoenberg neck, and today I created the fingerboard surface, inlaid the short diamond pattern, and fretted it. Tomorrow I hope to tear away enough time from inevitable birthday obligations to make a bridge and glue it on.
