Ok, we're back after a holiday break!
No rest for the weary as the old saying goes.
Although he was, unfortunately, battling a respiratory infection during the holidays, Joel completed the binding of this fabulous mosaic rosette. It is bound with some beautiful golden Koa. I think these Koa rings framing the rosette and this inner binding will really accent the maple back and sides once it is under finish.
We have moved into the bracing and voicing stage of this build. Joel employs the hybrid-X bracing structure for his guitars as reflected in this diagram. You will notice the radial fan extending from the bridge area.
Aaaaannnd, here we go
Thanks again, folks, for looking in and sharing this build journey with us!
More to come!
