Back to SSJ built

It has been hooded the SSJ built. Now, I am back to the SSJ built. This is an African Black wood body and Lutz spruce top. I have done the purfling install. Purfling is made by Black-White-Bralizian RW-white laminate. Next step is the binding including the beveled armrest install. Binding material is Madagascar RW. This is a very time consuming process. However, I really like the detailed work.

Brazilian Jazz Nylon Completed

     Brazilian RW Jazz Nylon model built project is completed. I installed a BR bridge using the Vacuum clamp. This model is impossible to install the bridge without sing the vacuum clumping system, because there is no center sound hole. Conventional clumps are not able to use.
I tested this guitar using the GHS La Classic strings set. It is too early to judge the sound quality, because a lattice braced guitar sound changes dramatically in first one week. Usually, a fresh built lattice bracing Nylon strings guitar shows quite normal and nothing outstanding sound. However, after first week, the new guitar shows a real sound. It requires an aging process for lattice braced guitars from my experiences.
      This guitar still needs a little extra adjustments for the action setting and electrical pick-up system installation. So, I am able to check the real sound for this guitar.
