New Build: Tahoe Guitars Bubinga/Bearclaw OMD
Larry Nair of Tahoe Guitars and I are starting a new build: a bubinga and bearclaw sitka OM deep body. The starting template for this guitar-which I've named "The Bubiclaw"- is based on a very fine 2010 Collings OM1H.
I will update the thread as we progress on the build. The (quite raw) video linked below summarizes our tonewood selection. Please forgive the quality...smartphone camera.  Bubiclaw Tonewods The following links to a video of Larry plotting the bracing template from my Collings OM1H. Tracing a Guitar Layout The uncut template:  The Collings OM1H (Maple/German) which is our starting point  The bubinga set  A bad pic of the bearclaw spruce. I'll get another and replace this one.

POST CLEAR PICTURES WHEN YOU CUT THAT COLLINGS IN HALF!!!!!
Are you going to use Bills method of neck bolts from the neck to the body, then nuts and washers inside the sound hole.
