Thank you, guys. I am learning and this is my first build. Everything I do with this archtop I observe at least twice (sometimes more) then I get a good dressing down by Ed Schaefer, a roadmap of what to watch out for, all the "getchas" awaiting me at every step. Then he gives me enough rope to aaaalmoost hang myself. If needed, he comes in and rescues, not me, but the guitar!! I can't speak highly enough of him as a person and a teacher.
More to come!
