Great job and nices ideas, but you use and show professional means on a channel called "DIY" guitar making... I'm making guitar as a hobby and look for tricks relative with my modest place, money, means

Tap Plate...Hide!

I agree on the sound of the Wenge model. The highs and mids shine, but great projection and sustain. I guess you can't expect rich lows in a smaller body.

thank you Eric . love the tees i got mine too. if i may suggest on drilling holes use a prick punch after the transfer punches . it will help find the holes better . sorry only about 49 mins in . more to come . oh and talking is hard . and please do not tempt MURPHY he will get you .i like the shape of your bridges . does the slot for the saddle go all the way to the bottom of the bridge ? on chip out with wenge try wetting down area with alcohol see if that works. oh on the windows back in the early 80 s i had that problem there was a fix it was a film i placed on the windows . i sadly do not remember what it was called maybe a solar film
