This guitar was made by me under the guidance of my father, whose hobby was guitar making, before his passing. It is being sold as a junk item due to numerous flaws. Due to a hand injury, I will not be making guitars in the future. The sides and back are Brazilian rosewood, and the top is a luxurious specification using Sitka spruce with bearclaw figure. The size is an OO form, but it has an original shape with the same thickness as a dreadnought. The aim was for a sound somewhere between an OOO and a dreadnought. It has scalloped X-bracing and is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer. 0 fret 45mm, 12th fret 55mm. At the time, my father, seeing me trying to make a guitar by imitating him, told me that if I was going to make one, I should disassemble and remake a model with the same specifications that he had already made. So, I made this guitar. Therefore, I made the back bracing and the top. However, due to my inexperience, the construction is poor. The top is thick and cannot resonate, and the back braces have all peeled off because the radius didn't match the back material. The Brazilian rosewood is a very distinctive material. It is extremely hard, and if you misjudge the grain, you cannot carve it cleanly, and the chisel will chip. When polished, it has a unique fragrance. Regarding why a novice like myself possessed Brazilian rosewood in the first place, my father said, "I got the wood from a musical instrument store's underfloor storage." It's a rather dubious episode. At the time, I was young and didn't think to ask for more details. I can only ask you to judge whether it is Brazilian rosewood from the images. Furthermore, unfortunately, there are multiple cracks in the back. As mentioned earlier, the back braces had peeled off, and I had left it as is, so there is a crack running in a straight line from the neck block to the tail on the right side of the center. There are also cracks near the hips. Someone who is confident may be able to complete it and play it, but please consider purchasing it with the understanding that it is a junk item. I recommend replacing the top at the very least. I also thought it would be good to use ebony for the bridge plate, but it was too strong and did not provide adequate elasticity, which had a negative effect on the sound. Maple is probably the best choice. In any case, please be aware that it is a handmade item by an amateur, and I cannot guarantee its functionality as a musical instrument.
