Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2017 11:20 am
Hi All,
Stung up my 2ndbuild (1st steel string) the other day. Pretty happy with the sound, best balanced guitar I own. Learnt a ton and made plenty of mistakes including real trouble with the projected neck angle despite sooooo much prep work.
I have put in sound mass and the lower bout back brace is full height, but will let it settle in for a while before I look at doing any modal tuning. Specs are
Soundboard: Englemann spruce
Back & sides, h/s veneers
Neck: Tassy
Rosette & end graft: Mango & paua
Finish: Tru-oil
