I’m guessing they didn’t have an OM size set. I’d probably do the same thing or maybe make it as an OM Grand /0000 size with a 16” lower bout but at OM depth of 4 inches. An OM with a little extra umph but still comfortable.That wood was maximized for a dread!! Which is fine. But ..... it seems like a waste ordering this wood and then cutting it down on BR. Did I get this wrong? You ordered dread wood, but want OM?? Sorry, I'm a little confused....
I'm looking at the extra pieces around the top thinking "how many bridges could I make of those?" then I realize they're WAY too thin.... so sigh.... Anyone ever laminate a bridge?I’m guessing they didn’t have an OM size set.
