I've made the bridge and done all the final detailing on Fred's Italian Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood Concert Nylon. The extra few hours I spend preparing the surfaces for finish really make a difference in the refined look and feel of the completed instrument. The bridge on this guitar is very light, only 25 grams. A nylon stringed instrument's bridge and soundboard need to be much more light and flexible than what works best on a steel stringed instrument, because the nylon strings are under much less tension. Tomorrow I'll bring this across town to the great Addam Stark for another of his beautiful thin finishes.
