Thank you beth! I'm glad you love this already because there will be a lot more. A guitar maker's view through history as it relates to guitars and the art of lutherie.

I'm enjoying doing the research for this build. There are a lot of stories when you go old! This train route was quite a sensation in it's time. Here is a clip from an 1899 Women's Journal Magazine ad. I suppose you might call it 1800s style targeted marketing but, I'm sure they had a different name for it back then:

That redwood top is mouth watering. This whole project is just too exciting, Mark - I'm going to be following closely!

I hear what you are saying. Spanish Cedar is lighter than Mahogany and that will find a place in the neck. The back and sides will be different though.
It's great to see the excitement this has already generated!
