I have been working with Doug Moore and Kevin Waldron for a brace placement jig . We came up with this. It works great and you can use the jig to lay out the notches for the kerfing. I drew out the brace placements placed the braces using the jig and the notches were perfect. We will get the back templates made asap. If you like what you see contact Kevin off his link.

This is built with the Honduran Rosewood we resawn. This is nice and the top is a bear claw Spruce. I will post more shots as it goes along.

here are some of the guitar in the white ready for finish

Nice headstock bling

That is pretty wood John. Great idea on the template too. If I was a production shop I'd want one!!

Hey, that's nice looking, for mahogany. Is that typical of honduran, to have that nicely defined light/dark streaky look?

This is Honduran Rosewood not Mahogany. My test stain make it look like Brazilian. That grain is going to POP

Ooops, my mistake. I think I'm going to need some of that wood, though, and staining seems like a good idea, too.

You would love that. Honduran is a terrific tone wood.

this guitar will get finished in Nitro
