Building another Box


This is documenting the box building of my second build from the current batch. It's the SJ model with a Alpine spruce top and Euro Walnut back and sides. The neck is made from Honduran Mahogany and all appointments will be Ebony. The pictures are very much documenting the "Spanish method" of building the box.
I was a bit worried about bending the sides because the Walnut is quite curly but bending was a dream. So easy and so stable, just wonderful wood to work with.
Because of the softness along the grain the back features a lattice bracing system to avoid the sound getting to muddy. At least that's what I hope I will achieve.
