Yup, the one you saw, Don, it the guitar I'm talking about. I don't know about the one Tom gave me in the swap. Is it marked on the Board?

Perhaps I will trim the braces a bit. They are scalloped but the lower tone bar often does more harm than good. I might lower that one quite a bit.

Oh, bad luck! Colin, I was this close to ordering a Sitka dread from you.

Guess I'll have to see if Russell is booked up, or maybe Dave?

As it's you Steve, I'll build you a sitka Dread if you want. Can I just check that I've got the measurements right.

Upper bout 10.5"
Lower bout 14.5"
Waist       8.8"
Body length 18.5"
Scale 24.9"

Oh and Sitka is Picea abies, is that right?

Braced for the flatpickers favourite 10-47s of course.

Hmmmmm, I dunno Colin. Are those American inches or metric inches? I sure don't want Don laughing at my new guitar!

I don't know about microbrew- but Harvey Leach has used some nice looking redwood that comes from wine vats!!
