Ben you are breaking land speed records on this one. Wow. Fun to watch.
Yeah, it is not something I have seen before either. But I recently did a Warhorse (my dread model) with redwood braces on Sitka, and it is a killer guitar. The redwood is very light and stiff. Let me clarify; this particular board of redwood is very light and stiff. And that is something good! Plus, I think it just looks cool...
