Curt's X braced Grand Concert

This one uses an extreme set of on fire Koa and a Lutz spruce top.


This set of Koa is on fire!!!




Joining the back halves


Getting a side ready for bending


Making the sandwhich


Loaded into the bender and heating up


First the waist is bent


And then the bouts


And fresh out of the bender


Glueing in the blocks






Some color added for reinforcement or crack control, heaven forbid.


The box is not closed, the back is just posing there for the camera, but it's cut to shape. Braces to come soon.


Contouring the side to the proper radius for fitting the back.




Installing the linings


Bracing the back


Shaping the back braces


Gling in the back reinforcement strip and label


Joining the top halves


The top has been thinned and the rosette is in


The rosette
