Final Assembly

     Classical guitar project is completed. I installed a bridge, an armrest, and tuning machines. My bridge has 12-holes for the string install. The 12-hole bridge is able to make the highest possible strings angle to the saddle. This makes the brightest possible sound character due to the highest possible tension. The bridge has couple of Shellac coatings with steel wool mat finish. The bridge was installed using the vacuum clamping system for the best result. Tuning machines are Gilbert tuners. For me, the Gilbert tuners are the best on the market.
     This guitar has the Shellac finish on the top. Rest of surfaces are water based Acrylic finish. Shellac finish on the top makes brighter sound character. I installed D'Addario EJ45 normal tension strings.
