Hello,

I just checked out the Froggy Bottom site and they are intoducing a new model and a raffle.

Check it out as there is a "build blog" showing many photo's of their processes...Very Cool!

definitely NOT the way I build guitars, but then again there are ooodles of different ways to build one. I am guessing that the top is cut exactly to size and shape before he glues the sides on. I am unclear how he manages to get the sides profiled to fit the dome of the top....unless, of course, the top is genuinely flat??

This reminds me of the way that Waddy builds a classical. The classical building was mentioned in the blog, so I assume they (froggy bottom) build classicals as well.

20,000.00 isnt a bad return for an Adi/BRW guitar. Wish I could get that for one of mine. At least the raffle is for a good cause.
