Default Classical Guitar Back... in 10 Pieces

Hi AGF,

Here's a quick shot of a recently completed classical, which started it's life as a 1960 DiGiorgio. Three years ago I replaced the destroyed top for my client... a lot of work went into the guitar and the restoration spanned almost 6 months at that time.

This last year we replaced the back. In order to get a good match with the old Brazilian rosewood I did a many piece back cut from 70 year old turning blanks.

As the title states the back is in 10 pieces. Thankfully they are joined together

We were both really happy with how it turned out and so glad that we went forward with the back replacement... the guitar was significantly louder afterwards. My client played it recently in duo with Adam Levin and it was nice to hear in concert . I'll see if I can post up some sound clips.
