Mahogany 000

This 000 is one of my favorite shapes.  The mahogany in this box is quite curly which limited the severity of the cutaway section.  I cannot bend really curly mahogany into acute angles without fracturing it.  This guitar has my new favored lining method.  Laminated cedar, in this case red cedar or aromatic cedar, the same stuff cedar chests are made from.  I am hoping to eliminate the rather serious moth infestations that have been plaguing my guitars.  (just kidding).  The side reinforcements are already inlet and glued to the side and the back is glued in place.

I have gone back to a more traditional bracing pattern after having made several guitars with double x's
