Cool top, Chris.
I do like the rosette you & John went with— the larger rosewood rosette works real well with the guitar's aesthetics. The original abalone rosette wasn't bad looking, mind you— but for this guitar, I like the RW choice.

Wow, so what does he do with that info? Does it tell him where to remove wood from? I have never seen that done.

Chladni patterns....
http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/guit...adni_engl.html "The adjustment of the top plate is important to the properties of the final instrument. The most important adjustments are thinning the wood towards the edge of the plate, and thinning the braces. Chladni patterns provide some feedback to the maker during the process of adjusting the plate to its final shape. Symmetrical plates give symmetrical patterns; asymmetrical ones in general do not."

Nice, Chris!
I'm guessing next up: The rosewood binding to tie into the wedgie?

It is all packed up just waiting for the holiday to be over so it can get shipped on Tuesday.
One thing about the pictures is the lights I use (Halogen) really tend to bring out the yellow. I probably should have adjusted the pictures a little bit, but overall, the guitar color is a little less yellow. The amberburst came out really close to the illustration I was really happy with the color match that I got on the burst. I think Chris will be too. |
