Here's a glimpse of a guitar I hope to have done this fall, it's going to be a slope-shoulder dreadnaught shape. 12 frets to the body, with sitka and sapele. I was tempted to build a copy of a really sweet Kalamazoo 00 shape guitar I've been working on, but I didn't really feel like making a new mold and templates right now. So, here is the beginning of instrument number 6.
Because my thickness sander is still in the "pre-existent phase," I'm taking these ribs down to proper thickness with hand planes and a scraper.
I spent most of Memorial day with my bending iron. The kerfed linings for this instrument are maple, so they needed a good dose of heat to get to shape too.
