		<description><![CDATA[Got the pickguard done today and am starting to sweat the little aesthetic details, like which knobs to use.  In the lineup above from left-to-right, are a Selco rubber knob with glow-in-the-dark pointer, satin chrome Schaller dome knob, and Hipshot chrome o-ring knob.

Kevin did me a favor and picked out a nice heavy piece of hard ash, which is going to sound (and balance) great.  [...]]]></description>

I built this extra-large router table to trim my mold slices flush with the master pattern.  It&#8217;s basically just a board with a hole in it and a router mounted to the bottom.  The whole mess sits on a couple of custom sawhorses that my father-in-law made for me &#8211; they fold up [...]]]></description>

I got all the new acoustic bass&#8217; mold slices bandsawed out today &#8211; it&#8217;s finally starting to look like a body!  Now to trim them clean on the router table and put them all together.

		<description><![CDATA[
The new bass design is really big, and it needs a really big mold.  Normally I make acoustic guitar molds out of MDF, but with a body this big I decided to do a plywood one.  I got this idea when I visited the Taylor factory a few years ago.   I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, after much trial-and-error, I&#8217;ve decided that the thin laminate I got for the tops of the new ABG&#8217;s is too much trouble to reinforce for the backs and sides.  So off to the supplier for some .040&#8243; laminate.   Upon further reflection, I think the thicker material must be what Martin&#8217;s using [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Because the bracing of the new basses is so experimental, I need to load test the top to test deflection under string tension.  To do this, I made a dummy top out of the real material, braced it, and mounted it in a frame that simulates the perimeter of the body and neck block.
I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got the laminate materials for the first three basses, and I&#8217;ve settled on a bracing design for the tops.  The next step will be to start building the body mold and side template so I can start making some sawdust.  I&#8217;ve been holding off on this step for a while because I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best characteristics of a brace for an acoustic guitar top is a high stiffness-to-weight ratio.  The less mass the top and braces have, the easier it is for the string&#8217;s energy to set it in motion and create sound.  At the same time, the top and braces need to be [...]]]></description>
