Neck reset...reslotted and reglued bridge
Crushed back with 4 broken braces. Luckily only one needed replacing.

Thank you all for your insight and suggestions. Looking forward to starting another build. ImageImageImageImageImage

I guess you were building this guitar and then somehow it was crushed? I've had some mishaps, but never anything that bad! It looks like you did a fine job of putting it back together. Well done!

Thanks!

I actually built this guitar 5 years ago and throughout the years of gigging and not really taking the best care of her she was in bad shape. The back was nearly completely crushed. Glad I did a French polish with this guitar. The sound is unbelievably balanced, full bodied and the sustain is forever.

As for my next...I'm thinking I'm not going to stray too far from this one.

Same basic build but add a cutaway...pay closer attention to aesthetics ie take corners with purfling...maybe get a little radical with the rosette. Lacquer finish.

Baby steps. Lol
