Its not like a hardwood guitar, its almost like taking
classic and adding number 11 steel strings on here.
with all the bass and highs like a hardwood
but light as playing a mando. hope i said this right.

I try to make small changes in each build ,this happen
to be one of them. I still like a 4inch hole with spruce bracing. This guitar happen to be just a little
to loud for me. my next build that am doing right now
is a off set x bracing 2 necks 14fret at the body and 12fret at the body with hard wood back braces and spruce
top braces.

Thanks for all the great pics and explanations Ron, i already feel you're gonna add some color to this already great forum, glad to have you aboard my friend!

As Bob said, you'll find out soon enuff that we'll be begging for more piccys!

Serge

Very interesting Ron. Look forward to more pic's.

Man, he builds guitars faster than i post! Super Spruce, way to go!

Hi,
Here is a snakewood faceplate I did back in 1988. I had never seen this wood before and the wood dealer offered to cut a hunk from a small round he had so I could play with it.
It was really expensive back then too!
