#072 East Indian Rosewood, Adirondack Red Spruce 000-WK
7/7/2008
This is a pre-production model, or I call it as a research model.
I'm planning to introduce a bit bigger size guitar than my OMY and this is the
experimental, 000 size guitar.
The top is dome shape(3.5mm raise/16") and relatively thick(3mm) which is
graduated down to 2.6mm towards perimeter . It produces strong base and balance.
I feel very comfortable with this brace arrangements and top arch.
Next step is to add cutaway. Whether I should use angle neck joint
or standard joint.......
