Finished construction on my Koa Parlor Guitar.

This is the last construction step before setup. I used my KMG bridge setting tool for the short Martin scale to perfectly set the bridge. My taped area was a little smaller than the bridge. Once I set the bridge I bolted it down through the E-strings and with a sharp exacto knife cut the perfect edge for the bridge. I then worked my way to the line with a very sharp chisel. Once the bridge (sanded to a 28' radius) fit perfectly on the top. I used my KMG bridge clamp to glue it down.

What a wonderful looking instrument John. The final steps just before stringing. The anticipation is building...

I love everything about this guitar from the headstock to the lotus flower inlay. I've enjoyed watching it come together. Thanks for the inspiration John!!
