Activity in the studio — Archtop Guitar is Shaping Up Nicely
Top image is the fingerboard setting on teh neck. Maple fingerboard with walnut dots. 12" radius.
Left is the a detail of the tail registration pin which come up into the fingerboard and looks like a nother dot marker. Righ is the nut registration which is hidden when assembled. This guitar is coming together very well. I know the tone is good. The top is reflex voiced to provide optimum responsiveness for the string tension. More as it develops.
