Cocobolo\Lutz 14 fret to the body 00

I'm also rethinking the bridge taping. I had a hard time getting the tape off after I finished the project guitar. I may do as you have done regarding the bridge. You're guitar is truly stunning.

Thank you Diane,

I switched to no tape after I had one project where just a bit of tape was outside of the bridge area.

Well I strung the guitar up this week.













Here is the tap spectrum with the strings on. The Air is at 102, the top is at 184 and the back is 152. I have mounts for side weights so I will add some weight looking to move the top closer to 180. The back is not very active, but I have the bottom brace tall so I can start shaving it to move the back down a bit. It might resonate a bit more then as well. It was a dense plate of cocobolo so I did not think I would get a very active back. All and all the guitar is starting to sound pretty good. Not as nice as my build of a Gore Medium size steel string, but with the smaller body and 14 fret to the body I was expecting some compromise sound wise. I have had it sitting with a tone-rite running. It has a rough setup now. I will get it properly setup up this weekend.

What tool did you use to generate the frequency spectrum graph?

It a free tool called visual analyzer. http://www.sillanumsoft.org/

I followed Trevor Gores Instructions for setting up the tool

Sure turned out nice john. I'm here in india where the coco dred I made lives. I played it the other day and was reminded how heavy it had turned out. How is the overall weight of your guitar considering of course it is a small body git.
