Rune's 7-steel-string is coming together great. It's so fun creating the bracing on these unusual custom instruments. I start out by laying out the x-braces so that they catch the corners of the bridge, and from there I follow my intuition, thinking about stiffness both along and across the grain. As you can see, the body's been assembled and I've routed channels to receive the curly koa binding. After I finish laying in the binding I'll move on to building the neck. More soon! :)
