Well well... I sanded the back before to joint it and I was not happy about the tap-tone... I took another one and it perfectly fit with the top, with a great sound. I put the older in the pile for a 000 model in the futur!



The top is ready to be sand and the rosette will come soon!

African Blackwood on quarter for the rosette. My customer want a simple design, "sober-minded"
