Just had this sent in..interesting piece..Why and what the big deal.
The bracing pattern is not your typical X Brace with two tone bars below them. Instead its a sitka spruce top with the lattice brace system underneath the top. Typically lattice bracing is used widely on classical or nylon string guitars. And the string string makers i know personally used only the lattice bracing in combination with the X brace,...rather just below the X brace.
How does its hold on and how does it sound? the top was not swelling at all...balance tone across the the whole fretboard. Amazing.
The back and sides is the Vietnames Rosewood...which many luthier claims that its harder than Brazilian rosewood and exhibits the same tonal qualities..YOU BE THE JUDGE...Honestly it looks more like cocobolo..The bone saddle was not profile radius correctly so it was upgraded to the FMI saddle with the 14 inches crown Radius to correspond to the fretboard radius. This improves the playablity across the fretboard.
The LR Baggs Anthem pickup was installed in.
We start off with the YOU TUBE video..watch it and comment on it...on how you feel about it..
