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.

Lovely guitar! Best wishes from London, Prav
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's a very satisfying 2nd build with better tone and craftwork. I knew more clearly what to do, managed to avoid previous mistakes and not make any major new ones. Still more learning to do with more builds 😌
