2nd CG build - Completed!
This is my 2nd CG build. In brief: # 640mm scale # Woods are sitka spruce top, sapele back & neck, japanese cypress sides, IRW fretboard & bridge. # Based on FE19 body size & fan bracing. # French polished with blonde shellac I made the following design features over my 1st CG to improve this CG: # Increased the overall box stiffness with side braces all round & thicker sides # Increased top bout stiffness and sturdier fretboard base with C shaped heel # Increased sound board to side impedance with harder sapele linings & stiffer sides # More flexible top (thinner & ligher top, lighter bridge) # Enhanced the bass with torvanoz & sapele top linings # Higher weight for robust feel & better bass response # For fun, added a kumiko over the sound hole.
