The Simplicio project has taken forever but the guitar is finally ready to be strung up. The significant differences in structure should make for a sound which will be quite different from my other guitars. Of course it is more the external aspects which have taken so long to do. I generally like to leave off any fancy purfling on the backs of my guitars and they end up looking like they have a one-piece back. The experience of this guitar has make me re-think that a bit and maybe I will do the centre strip a bit more often now.
