Here are some pictures of my latest A style. What a great sound! I used a one piece Sitka top from Bruce Harvie at Orcas Island Tonewoods and a one piece back from Old Standard Woods (Thanks John Griffon). This one has the Carbon fiber rod in the neck (two of them) and a carbon fiber insert in the center of the ebony bridge top.
The sound is woody and changing as it opens up. I played in at a session last night and the sound was very different from the beginning to the end.
