For a second, as the first pic came up, I thought I was looking at the peghead. That chair has a nice shape to it......so does the guitar!

my guess, from the angles of your braces, is that this guy will have a
crisp, balanced, cutting tone. Sweet job Larry!

Darin, I hope John's right and it sounds more like a guitar than a chair! (If it turns out a third as well as the ones I saw in John's shop I'll be a happy man!

I like it, Larry. What is this - number 8? We want to see pics of 9 through 16 also

Bruce, 9-16 may be a while in actuality...but, the ARE in the planning stages I just have to find their owners! The photo guy says 5-7 should be post-able this next week.

Terry, the top is at .115 in the middle, thinning just a hair out to the edges south of the soundhole...the bridge plate is 2 5/8" wide (north to south) and pretty much the same size as the plans...when I drew the bridge out on the top the E's looked okay...I sure don't need another surprise at this point tho!
