I made two bridges. One bridge is made from Brazilian RW, and the other is Ebony. Brazilian bridge is 29-grams and Ebony is 39-grams. I like lighter weight bridge for better sound response. I have been exclusively using Brazilian RW for my bridge. This time, I will use Ebony bridge for color matching. I will have a guitar show in June. Please visit the Winters guitar festival in June 23 and 24. I have an exhibitor booth to show my guitars. I will show this SSJ and Juzz Nylon model in the show.

Next week, I will start polishing for the SSJ. This guitar will be ready to play in two weeks.

Final coats apply
Final coats apply work is done. I sprayed 8-layers of Water based acrylic finish using the Terget EM6000. This is my trusted finish material. Water based acrylic finish is a tricky material. Some brand requires very precise spraying technique. Too much spray makes a non-clear white layer issue, and too little makes dry and rough surface. Some brand makes blueish and not clear coating color. However, EM600 has a lot of forgiveness. Also, EM6000 makes crystal clear coating. I have never failed finishing work using the EM6000. This time, I have gotten a pretty good satisfaction for my finishing quality.
It requires two weeks to cure the finish. White waiting the finishing cure, I will make the bridge. I will use the Brazilian rose wood for the bridge.
