WowSomewhere along the line here, I'm pretty sure someone posted drawings of the bracing for a D4. Which is still kind of fun. I thought I had saved them, so I'll look around.
Thanks for the feedback.

I like the look of that!@shodoro:
Since the D4 was based on the D25's body with less "bling" such as back binding and a satin finish, that pic may be as close as you'll ind to a spec drawing for a D25.
Their great!A-yup. Thanks!
Looks greatThese?
Do you think that lighting technique would work on a hog?How about the bracing change drawings, from the "popsicle stick" to the wings with supporting block at neckblock, as shown in Plaidseason's post?
I think there might be a translation difficulty. I'm not sure what you mean by "hog" unless you mean mahogany top?Do you think that lighting technique would work on a hog?
I'd guess as that is written in post #1: "1973 D-25 hog"I'm not sure what you mean by "hog" unless you mean mahogany top?
Yeah, I, too, doubt that a "Henkogram" could work with mahogany top. But I wonder if it's been tried. Mahogany is pretty porous, although I suspect it's not translucent. @GardMan ???I'd guess as that is written in post #1: "1973 D-25 hog"
And I doublt you could light through a mahogany top like it works with a spruce top.

The whole body is mahogany.I think there might be a translation difficulty. I'm not sure what you mean by "hog" unless you mean mahogany top?
We say "hog" as slang for mahogany.
Don't go to any trouble, I was just curious & don't know if I'd ever do it anyway.I don't know if the technique would work on mahogany... Mahogany is denser, and darker. OTOH, it might just take longer exposures. I was thinking, "I don't have any mahogany-topped guitars to try it on..." But then I remembered my wife has her grandmother's Gibson LG-0, which has a mahogany top. I've still got the lights... I'll give it a try when I have a chance.
I got a sneaking suspicion it could be done, and your longer exposure comment might be the answer.I don't know if the technique would work on mahogany... Mahogany is denser, and darker.

Understood, just wanted to be sure. I think it might be possible and Gardman is going to try it out as he explained above.The whole body is mahogany.
I'm using slang I've seen on this or some other site.
Thumbs up, Dave. I'm surely interested in whether that would work.I'll give it a try when I have a chance.
No arched back, but I am the original owner. It's got great tone and a 50-year-old fat dust bunny inside.I got a sneaking suspicion it could be done, and your longer exposure comment might be the answer.

So, your '73 is an all-mahogany D25. Does it have an arched back? It's a short-lived version of the D25, only in production from approximately '73 or possibly even '72 through about '74. It has a lot of fans.
It might be pregnant. I understand dust bunnies have extremely long periods of gestation. It might be about to pop.No arched back, but I am the original owner. It's got great tone and a 50-year-old fat dust bunny inside.
