Terz guitar, Sitka/Ovankol, with sounds

[Herman]

Another new thing to me: a 3/4 Terz guitar. I used a thin Taylor style V-class bracing. Really easy to make BTW. And a scary few brace to the top. Other builder point out the importnce of a heavy shoulder brace. Here, above the soundhole, there is nothing!
The bass is lacking of coarse, but it can be a great traveler- or studio guitar. This was the first time I used tru-oil and frankly, it is not my finish FWIW. The application is very easy, but I miss the gloss of laquer.

Top-Canadian high grade Sitka spruce
Bracing-Taylor style V-Class bracing
Back/Sides-Figured Ovankol
Neck-Honduran Mahogany
Fingerboard-East Indian Rosewood
Bridge-Wengé, pinless

Looks very nice to my eye - and of course, great craftsmanship. Where did you find specs for the Lowden-style bridge?

[Herman]

O no Dave, I have no specs. I just copied some pictures and calculated the dimensions. In fact they are very easy to make.

Gorgeous guitar! I love the body shape. Sounds good as well. Taylor will come after you.

[John Link]

Yes, the bass is not growly, but wow, what treble. Divine.

Beautiful Herman, you just keep turning out great instruments. Must be that small workshop you have that does it. I'm going to have to make mine smaller so my guitars might turn out as good as yours. Well done my friend, it sounds Loverly.

H - is this now your go-to bracing pattern?
