Default Dion, Rosewood/Italian spruce




With a couple guitars heading out the door early next week it’s time to get started on a new project. This one is going to be built with Indian rosewood back and sides and a beautiful Italian spruce top. With any luck I’ll have it done in time for the Vancouver international Guitar festival!

Rain, good for the garden and good for my shop productivity. I should have this box closed by weeks end.

Just fitting the x-brace. Plenty braces to go on yet.

I'm assuming that the top is not glued in place at this time?

Your assumption is correct. I’m just dry fitting things in this photo.
