The type of burst Bryant will execute is quite light in its hues, reflecting the colors of nature near his shop in the south of France. The reason I selected the choice of sets with the strongest Fiddleback figure was to ensure that it was seen through the burst where it is darkest near the rims. Also, if you look closely at the earlier photos and look past the “flames”, this set had the most consistent, albeit slightly wider grain count. While inconsistencies in wood can be compensated for in the carving of the back, I thought consitency in grain count a desirable starting state.

Good to hear that there are a few of us here...
. Archtop guitars can be sort of foreign instruments to many flat top players.
