Side assembly complete

I completed side assembly. I have been using solid linings for the top side. Solid lining has three layer laminate configuration using Spanish ceder-Yellow ceder-Spanish ceder combination. For the cut-a-way portion, I made a one piece lining using Mahogany. All solid linings at the top side are able to hold the top very well. Solid lining makes much crispier tonal character, because the solid linings are able to hold the sound board much stronger than conventional kerfed linings. Stronger top support helps to generate stronger over tones. For the back side, I have been using conventional kerfed linings to minimize the guitar weight. Back side does not need strong support for the back board, because the back board is not actively contribute to the tonal character difference. After complete the side assembly, I applied three layers of Shellac with 400-grit sanding. I seal inside of the body completely for better moisture stability. Also, very clean surfaces contribute sound quality improvement. Therefore, I removed all of irregularities inside the body as much as possible.
