Default Stephen Kinnaird SJ BRW/Italian Build just for me! Chapter 2...

The first thread on my guitar build is basically full in terms of the 300 posts. Thank you all for making it so much fun and following along. I welcome anyone that wants to post to do so and I don't care if we stray off topic to have some fun either....

Also, THANK YOU so much to Steve and Ryan for sending me these pics of the build. I know I am certainly not partial, but I think they have done a great job of not only showing progress, but in how they do things....I think it has been great!

To continue on with chapter 2, I thought posting some of my favorite pics of various parts of the build would be a good way to summarize chapter 1 and lead into the next section of the build.

First and foremost, the woods: Italian Spruce top:



And Brazilian back and sides:



Eccentric rosette construction and final result:







Back braces, Ryan hard at work::



Bracing the top:
