I actually built this last year and proceeded to take it to guitar camp (PSGW.org). During said camp a ham fisted idiot put several nicks around the soundhole and a couple dings in the top. It only took him about 20 seconds to do. Impressive I thought! The guitar sat on a shelf in the shop for the last 15 months until I cooled down enough to take it apart and repair the damage. What do they say "Drive it like you stole it" or in the case of a guitar "Play it like you own it". Anyway, I'm better now.. M |

And a pretty nice set of EIR it is too. Love the silking on the top too. Nice bridge arrangement for the slanted position. Come to think of it, that's a dang sweet guitar all round, not surprised it took you 15 months to chill somewhat. Is it a new top? Ham fisted idiots should be weeded out before camps, named and shamed if discovered, belt buckles confiscated and bunches of keys surrendered before entry. |

Oh! Was going on the title:) Thought it was wenge:) Nice sound port. After doing a few I appreciate not only the sonic attributes but it’s identity as a “truss rod window” haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

That is a beauty Michael. I have been putting on transparent pickguards in case one of those guys does that to mine. You can barely see them, but they offer some protection; and they can be easily removed... |

Is it a new top? Negative, I was able to pull the pick guard and the bridge, take the top back to nearly bare wood and reshoot it. One of the advantages of a full bolt-on neck. The setup took nothing. After gluing the bridge back on, I reamed the pin holes to clear any glue and reinstalled the nut and saddle, strung it up, done! 5/64 and 3/64 at the octave...perfect! |

The idiot managed to trash the top even with the PG. |

Guitar + Camp = take a beat up old Giannini with a previously bondo-ed crack in the side. If they don't have a belt buckle or keys the idiots can find a pine tree to smack it against. I like to bring a guitar to campfires I don't have to fret about and can relax and enjoy myself, and if it winds up in the campfire I haven't lost too much. That is a lovely guitar Michael. I'm glad the repair went well for you. |
