Interesting wood combo
Wow, Dustin. That is exciting news! I actually just sent an email to Marc to discuss a build-- in large part because of listening to your YouTube videos.
Not to get off topic but I was also very impressed with your music. Great stuff!! So I will probably be right behind you in line for a new Beneteau! I will have trouble deciding between an "M" and an SJ. But that's a discussion for another thread. I'm going to follow this thread with interest. Keep us informed and congratulations! Chris |

Hey all,
Marc graciously sent me these pictures of the ribrest and arm-bevel assembly process. I never knew what went into the bevel assembly and just thought it was cool. They are going to be Ryan-style and I couldn't be more excited, the Laskin style on my model M is nice but I wanted the soundboard to still maintain it's round outline The body depth will be 4 3/8 at the tailblock and I'm thinking even with the 17' bout this will still be very comfortable. Hope you're all doing well! Any other Beneteau SJ owners here?

Hey all! Getting even closer...here's a new photo and brief message from the man himself
"Here is a photo of the last stage in the bracing of the top. Because there are so many braces I break this process up into four stages."

Nice Dustin! Always fun to view all that bracing before the box is all closed up and it disappears. It's great to get pics, isn't it!!!

re: earlier comments about Engelmann. This has probably been discussed ad infinitum previously, but I'm still at a loss when it comes to the general consensus on this wood. I have a '96 Collins 0002HCE wthat I purchased from the Music Emporium after spending a day there playing everything. I picked this guitar entirely based on sound, and loved the crisp, articulate tone, the wide range of sound from deep tight bass to high end sparkle... and it's only gotten more exciting over the years. And I use a flatpick -- not a fingerstylist. As time has passed, I have read major builders characterizing topwoods, calling Engelmann "warm," or quiet, or having a strong fundamental, etc., and other characterizations that contradict each other. This leaves me thinking that the truth may simply be that it is an inconsistent wood warranting careful selection when used. On my guitar, the top is just amazing to see, as it is straight-grained and silked to the max, so maybe it's atypical. I dunno. And I'll be interested to hear how this great guitar comes out, as I end up equally confused when I read about walnut!

This will be a stunner!
Looks like a nice long back bevel coming, as well as the arm bevel.
You will be stoked at how comfy this is going to be. Even though a Jumbo !!! I really like Walnut and this is some beautiful Claro here! I had a dynamite Beneteau 000 12c in Bubinga/Adi. If it had a slimmer neck I would still have it. Thanks for sharing! Be well, have fun, play pretty Paul

I spoke with another fellow Beneteau owner who has a fair amount of high end builds and he said his engelmann/Brazilian Beneteau concert Model is easily louder than the rest of his guitars, so again, it goes back to how well the builder knows the wood and the quality of it. I consider myself super lucky to have learned these things here on the forum but in Marc’s words “nothing is set in stone” in regards to tonewood. Every tree is different I can’t wait! Nice to hear from you David, hope you’re well.
