Re: Starting a new BRW falcate braced falcate classical guitar
Before gluing the back, with the top glued on I touched up the rims with both a 10 ft radius dish and a radiused sanding bar.
Double check the back fit
Also before gluing the back on I decided to profile the fret board. Mainly so I can draw out the sound hole profile with the back off.
Cleaned up the back and glued on the label and then glued on the back.
Starting to look like a guitar
Still early but it looks like this will be a pretty responsive guitar with an active back. The first three peaks are the Air, Top and Back resonances. Looking past the three peaks there are a bunch of resonant peaks to contribute to a rich voice. An active back working with the top helps make a bunch of those peaks.
