Traveling strings is a record of my journey into guitar building, and I am not sure where it will all lead. I have a basic design theory for this little guitar. I would like it to be smaller than a Martin backpacker but with a bigger sound. I wan't to build it out of local woods.(eventually the neck too) I want the tunners to be out of the way so that the guitar won't get nocked out of tune. I wan't it to be full scale. Most of all I wan't it to be fun to play.
The first thing I did was to join the wood for the top and the back. Here you can see them with the bracing installed. The bracing on this set is a little beefy. I am getting a good tap tone but I think it could be better. On the next one I will try a different bracing pattern on the top and most likely make the braces thinner.
