This guitar is nearing completion and should be strung by the end of next week. In the meantime, a couple of shots of the bridge, though it's not finished yet. Ted likes to use rosewood for his bridges as it is lighter and in his view more responsive than ebony - we'll see ! Cheers, Ian

Looks great - like the Kostal inspiration too.
Classicals have rosewood bridges for that very same reason.
Can't wait to see and play it, not as much as you I guess.

This guitar is nearing completion. Ted sent me the following shots after buffing up and before and after bridge glueing. It should have strings on tomorrow ! This is the back after buffing. Obviously, I'm hoping that the circular feature is a lighting extra ! And here is the bridge being glued... Hopefully, the next shots will be of the completed instrument. Cheers, Ian
