Thanks Erasmo. I sure liked your outdoor video today. Nice similar vegetation. Fall's fell. This long neck sure has a sweet sound. You'd like her.

Ya Andries. Let the top sag. But this one isn't yet. A small amount though. Seems OK. Sure like the sound. If it sags, I'll make the bridge wider so it can span the top from side to side. That spreads out the pressure better. This bridge is wider on one side. It's pretty easy on my top.

Fine Picking dave! changing the build to a playeble One is a must for all builds i geusch, sins they are no factory made! and yes the flooting bridge gives a lot of pressure on the top lid, so you need inner stucture or thicker wood, and thicker wood tends to loose tone, i agree, my two latest builds are thin and thick and the thin one sounds more crispy and bisquit like and the thick one has a nice tone but the susstain fades more quicly, and is not as loud acousticly as the thin one.
