The box is closed and my, oh my, is this baby resonant! Once the box is closed the Helmholtz resonance becomes apparent and the plates start vibrating sympathetically.
The tri-port is like a 3d window into the interior, and it sounds vast. I'm pumped!

Absolutely beautiful lines and design, Glenn!

The level of craftsmanship to pull this off is extraordinary--Kudos!

what a gorgeous guitar!! You are a true artist, and I love how you're filing us in on what you are listening for and hearing as the box comes together. Thank for inviting us along!

Thanks! Varying lineweight is a key element in design for me and I really appreciate it when it gets noticed.

Thanks Beth. Luthiery can be a bit of a roller coaster and I try to edit out some of the screams to make it look smoother, but I’m glad you’re enjoying the ride.

I like to think of the continuous bevel as a brushstroke around the guitar. Here is where the stroke begins.

Here are some pictures of the "almost finished state," the point where I start to learn what this guitar is all about. I'll try to post some soundclips and videos that reveal it's true nature, but for now I'll only give a teaser description...the triple soundport is so three dimensional it's like a sonic hologram!
