Second round of el cheapo spruce & plywood. I really like this one.
The main experimental idea behind this one was to see if I could have the sound hole also function as the cut-away. This helps some, but is not as functional as a full cut-away. It also sounds muffled when playing the guitar (it projects just fine), so I added a small hole on the side - that makes an amazing difference.
Other fun stuff includes a tongue-and-grove neck joint, like a standard guitar, but flipped 90 degrees & bolted through the back instead of from the inside. Easy to make, works well - I may try this again.
I also made the bridge out of purple heart and maple, that should make it obvious how I put those together.
