Double sides and solid liners should make a nice stiff side assembly to allow the back and top to vibrate to their hearts content!

Hey Tom ... not double sides, but those solid liners and side reinforcers make for a nice solid frame, that's for sure.

Thanks Dave. Customer likes that walnut one as well I need to update the website as I don't have any of my current builds on it. I have hesitated as I want to revamp the whole thing.

Are you using ebony bindings as well? I have a flame mahogany guitar I am working on that the customer wants ebony bindings. If you are using ebony, the two guitars will have a similar look. Beautiful work!

Hey Ken ... yes, this one will have ebony bindings ... it'll look very similar to yours!

I prefer analogue hygrometers (and wooden ones!) ... but they require re-calibrating at least monthly (using a wet-dry bulb psychrometer).
