I glued half of the bridge on, like what bill Cumpiano does.

John, thanks, yes its really in the white.

Ervin Somogyi and Jason Kostal both seemed to like it :D

Cumpiano only glues half of his bridge? hehe

The bridge bolts made the guitar sound.... well crappy. So I saw that William cumpiano strings up guitars in the white and he only glues on the back half of the bridge to string up guitars in the white. It works great. Ervin liked the guitar, but we spent a majority of the time talking about the design project we started a few months ago. Jason Kostal really liked it and mentioned many times how much he thought my work was cleaner and better than most of the people he used to teach at Roberto-Venn. I thought that was pretty cool. I also got scouted by the CEO of Bourgeois guitars, future job opportunity :D I also got to play Ervin Somogyi's new below base priced instruments called the "studio model". They're priced at around $18,000 which is a little more than half of what his base price for a normal guitar is. They sounded exceptional, as did the Kostal OM I played. All of Bruce Sexauers guitars that I played were pretty great too. I also picked up some reallllllly old growth pine tops and some awesome red spruce tops from Northwind tonewoods.

guitar sounds great. Having the ability to take leftover wood and make such a fine guitar shows your abundance of creativity. keep up the great work.

Very nice Brian, you are doing good work.
What's going to happen when you get a girl friend??? Are we still going to see guitars coming out of the shop?
