Amazing music is playing at the beginning of the video! What's it? ❤

Hi, it is For Far Too Long by Wanderer’s Trove. I found it on Epidemicsound, they are also on Spotify etc.

Why on the guitars that are made up here have the grain in the braces ninety degrees off. I prefer that they be sawn on the quarter.

[@engine-room]

Hi, the braces on this guitar are quarter sawn, any vertical lines are saw marks, as these were budget guitars the braces were not fully sanded. Maybe as it is shot on my phone it doesn’t show very well.

[@engine-room]

Ah I understand, you prefer the braces rotated through 90 degrees so that the flat sawn face is on the side?

[@davestambaugh7282]

@@engine-room Yea because they almost never crack that way.

@@davestambaugh7282 Thanks. I will remember that

[@billkaroly]

How old is that guitar?

[@engine-room]

Judging from what’s left of the label I would estimate late sixties or early seventies.

[@billkaroly]

@@engine-room I read they started making guitars in 1942.

[@engine-room]

@billkaroly yes, quite an old company, I think they have gone through a few different owners since this was made.
