JuanDaBomb: Thank you. The bindings are bloodwood with maple/bloodwood purfling. This guitar doesn't sound like any of the cypress guitars I've made. It has a certain presence and "edge" to the sound. Kind of a warm, slightly "distorted" cedary kind of sound. And it projects sound *really* well I think, to the point that the guitar sounds better in some ways from the "audience" than from the driver's seat. Only time I've ever slightly regretted not putting a soundport in a guitar [;)] Thanks Anders! I have to say I'm mostly a Cypress/Rosewood guy personally but it was interesting to work with something new. Thanks Gimar. Kris: I like the guitar a lot. I'm still developing this pattern as far as fine tuning of how the braces are shaped/what size they are but I'm definitely moving closer towards my "ideal" sound and feel. Thanks a lot Guitarproject!
