Thanks Antonio! Yeah I love this one. Play it all the time. Yes this has fan bracing under the soundboard - I only wish my bracing looked as professional as yours... oh well it does the job. Weird you say that about the bridge as its always the last thing I make for a build. Has your arrived yet?
man i thought i had some comments on this baby ? i guess not this is a nice git Ritchey. I know you dont want to hear anymore of my blathering about your bridges but sorry my eye always heads straight to the bridges on your builds. and the whole guitar just envelopes around it. is this the one that the pictures you have of bracing are of
Thanks Bobby! It sounds very nice actually. The very light electric guitar strings mean it doesn't have much acoustic volume, but through an amp it sounds very good indeed. I'll try to get a video up later today.

Thanks Roy! I still play this one a lot, there are quite a few vids on my page if you wanted to hear it.
