Thanks Jim for doing this build thread. I've been looking forward to this build since you ordered the guitar. I am confident I will get the tone you're looking for. It all starts with good tonewoods and voicing for optimal tone. The icing on the cake is having the guitar French polished. With all the tedious details from voicing, responsive back, hot hide glue, double sides and so on French Polish let's the guitar perform at the highest level it was ment to preform at. Can't wait to hand deliver it to you during guitar week at your Swannanoa Gathering and also to be part of it for the first time. Until that time I'll keep the pics coming
