Progress on Juston's European Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood Arena OM


I've made nice progress on Juston's European Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood Arena OM. I've completed assembly of the rim, and you can see how I go about sanding the rim down and shaping the inner reinforcement for the Ryan armrest bevel. This will be a multiscale instrument and you can see where I've drawn in pencil the position of the bridge. Once the bridge is located, I use a consistent approach to orient the bridge places and x-braces in relation to the bridge, so on a multiscale instrument the whole arrangement is slightly assymetrical. Finally, I've also glued the rim onto the top. Next I'll be bracing the back and closing up the soundbox. More soon, Juston. :)
