The first is the body closed before routing for the bindings.

The Second is with the binding and the guitar has finish.

Here is the guitar after the bridge is glued on

And with strings

Richard, you've hit the nail in the head. With a Gore style classical you wouldn't normally have a bridge patch...ie all the stiffness is in the bridge with it's two layers of CF. With a Gore style steel string there's a layer of CF plus the bridge plate under the bridge as well as a layer of CF in the bridge hence the effect of bridge mass is greater than stiffness.seeaxe wrote:Hi John
Thanks for posting these, I am sure I will find them useful as I move forward through the next builds.
Interesting that the top resonance goes up when you add the bridge. I guess the increase in stiffness offsets the additional mass.
Cheers
