Nice looking instrument! Cedar top? He'll give it a good workout with that playing style. I'll ask also, any side bending issues?

Thanks -
That is a Lucky Strike Redwood top. A little bit more tough than cedar.

No - Super Soft and standard temp/time worked great.

Greetings,
This my first post to this forum, so nice to meet you all! I am actually the client Steve was mentioning in some previous posts and, while I am not a luthier, I just wanted to share a video with you all that I think speaks MUCH more to the amazing instrument that this is. I feel very lucky to call this instrument my own and her voice is extremely unique.
Anyways, I'll let you all be the judge, another big thank you to Steve Saville for building such a great guitar!

(give it plenty of volume and a nice pair of speaker to really appreciate the sound) :D

Thanks,
Adam
