Tim's Baritone Soundbox is Assembled

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 Over the last week I've made good progress on Tim's German Spruce and Ziricote Baritone. I've braced the top and back plates and glued them to the rim. I like to use a slightly large bridge plate because I feel that enhances the crispness and sustain of the trebles. In the last shot here you can clearly see the Manzer wedge ergonomic feature built into this guitar, where the guitar is slimmer and more comfortable on the side where Tim's arm will rest over the lower bout. Next I'll be routing the binding channels and gluing in some beautiful red bloodwood binding. More soon! :)
