I love this one. I´m left handed, and living in argentina. So, you so far from me, i´m going to cry… a little! I´m started my own handcrafted thin archtop, and this is a beautiful model to follow. Love this work of yours. I want demos of the sound, i think that in this all the luthiers have abandoned the teaching. I want to learn, i need to make the plans, the woods, but also to have a sample of the results of combining woods, because a guitar is an instrument and have to speak and be listened. Don’t make toys magicien!
Good luck, work and life!
