My Sister is Tearing Apart My Guitar

Celeste at deviantART

While I'm in Sweden, Celeste has taken my guitar to Berea. As you all know, I dearly love that guitar, but it does need some work. Celeste found a guy at Berea that knows all about hand-made guitars who is helping fix some of its problems. He has also answered quite a few questions we've had about the guitar. First, the guitar is made out of three different kinds of wood, the front is spruce, the back and sides are curly maple, and the neck is mahogany. He thinks that the neck was ordered and that only the body was hand-made. The body is a modified A-frame, although, even for a guitar expert, it's a bit intriguing as he has never seen this type of frame before and the size of the body is also not standard. They are currently working on removing the bracing because it was too weak and the bridge was causing the front to warp.
