Acoustic #3. This will be an interesting build - I know just enough to not be dangerous.
The sides have been glued to the neck and tailblock and are now sitting in the mold. I had toyed with the idea of purchasing a custom kit, but then realized I would get just as much enjoyment and learn as much from one of John’s guitars that was in stock. The back and sides are very nice straight grained mahogany - I believe, 100 years old. I am not sure of John’s source.
FWIW, I have a custom dread made from an old mahogany table leaf of about the same vintage. If you are looking for great pieces of mahogany, check out old pieces of furniture.
