Having read through the information from our forum member, AluminumTop, I've decided to do an experimental build with one of his tops.

I'm going to build the guitar with a sunburst. I work on the guitars for several professional players; I'm going to lend the guitar to them, in the hopes that they'll play it extensively and give me their opinions.

I'll write an article for Guitarmaker Magazine once it's built and I have opinions.

Stay tuned!

Specs:

Aluminum Top with integral x-bracing
Honduran Mahogany sides/Back
Ebony bridge/fretboard
14-fret
24.9" scale

Looking forward to reading about the build process, and then the reactions from the players!
