Tim, this project is really cool. Thank you for posting it. The burnt top is great. It is funny my wife has been pushing me to build a burnt wood guitar as a finishing technique. Looking at this guitar I might just try it.

Bridge glue up. I'll do the final setup tomorrow morning. Start to finish completion - 14 days. Not too bad.

You have the "burning" experience, I say go for it. Who knows we may start a new trend!
