What a beautiful guitar! Hey, hairy stuff, routing by hand...
....I did it with my first..I have now acquired a laminate router just in case I don't want to do it a second time... |

Peter. That sinker redwood is fantastic! I love the darkness and the streaking. You'll have to let us know how it sounds when you're finished. Did you go thinner with the sinker? I've heard it's a little heavier than normal redwood and can be used slightly thinner. |
