I am making another guitar based around a fiberglass body.
I have successfully made several six string versions from a bigger mold but I just made up a smaller mold and cast this first one.
I am following a theory based on a rigid body & back but with a unusual sound board bracing that doesn't quite reach the edges!
I have also managed to make the soundboard from one piece of Monterey Cypress, I have been using this wood for the six string soundboards and it works extremely well.
I want every component apart from the top to be very rigid so I am using a carbon rod with a through bolt to keep the neck in place & the body non flexible.
The neck its self will have a 7mm steel rod... heavy but non flexing.
I will epoxy the inside of the back to stop any flex.
