Recently completed this classical.
Indian rosewood back/sides & bridge, engelmann spruce top and top bracing, Brazilian bloodwood fretboard and bindings, QLD Maple neck, King billy back bracing, Rubner tuners.

Traditional fan braced.
Sounds great, recording to come.

Very nice. Will be interested to hear that.
What finish did you use Felix?

Thanks. I don't finish my instruments myself - instead find it easier and more economical to pay someone who is setup to do it. I believe he used 30% nitro. Left the pores/grain open as can be seen in the last photo.
