ALL VIDS!!!!
OUCH!!! My friend, God bless you for your effort; However......
Where did you learn to build guitars? How long have you been doing it for?

hey HT,
Thanks for the vid, a few questions,
Why do you use epoxy, rather than wood glue, and do you carve down the top bracing?
keep the vids coming, I am loving that guitar
Thx

I know better, I have been building and repairing guitars for many years.
You are VERY good with computers. Where do you build? What state?

@jstoswt Can't wait to see your videos. I love to see different techniques on building and better ways of doing things.

Hello moc,
I prefer epoxy on the braces just due to the added strength and stiffness. When designing this bracing, I paid a lot of attention to Smallman's bracing system where he covers the braces in carbon fiber. I think it adds to the way the string energy gets transferred to the top.
Yes, the top bracing gets shaped when I voice the top (vid soon to be up at website). How you shape those braces will really determine the sound of the guitar.
Thanks for watching!
