African Dream

A newfangled design of mine. Very lightweight and 50% African woods used.

Murray,

Once again a very pleasing design and one I recognize a tiny element of in some of my own work from the 80s. I'm very curious how you joined the outer wings to the inner. Are there glued tenons? It begs the question of how the sound is transmitted and filtered past the constricted areas and reflected back towards the bridge. I'd love to hear what you have to say about any differences you perceive in the sound and the feel.

Beautiful guitar Murray!
A couple of questions.
1. How is the wiring routed through to the controls? is there a drilled out channel through the tenon?
2. Did you finish the inner and out pieces separately and then glue them in place?
I need your help. I can't possibly make all the mistakes myself!
