I showed Hesh the bridge on my old L-00 and he asked for more so here
she is. All black and white. It's hard to tell how old she is exactly but the
consensus I've come to accept is 1932-1934. She's light as a feather and
sound like a million bucks. I think it took 15 seconds to go from D chord
to wrap it up for me!!!
I included a shot of the back braces to give you an idea about just
how light these guitars are braced. I measured all the braces at some
point but I can't seem to find where numbers are right now. I think the X
brace clocked in at aprox. 7mm wide by 15mm tall and they are tapered
almost to a sharp point on top.
This one also has a floating fingerboard extension, almost like a
mandolin. It makes the bridge a bit taller that what you would expect for
a flat top guitar and it took a little while from my right had to get used to
the strings being higher off the body.
Take a look:
Enjoy!
