D-25 schematic

[shodoro]

Somewhere 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.

Wow
Thanks for the feedback.

@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.

I like the look of that!

 

[shodoro]

A-yup. Thanks!

Their great!

 

[shodoro]

These?

Looks great

How about the bracing change drawings, from the "popsicle stick" to the wings with supporting block at neckblock, as shown in Plaidseason's post?

Do you think that lighting technique would work on a hog?

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.

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.

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 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.

The whole body is mahogany.
I'm using slang I've seen on this or some other site.

Don't go to any trouble, I was just curious & don't know if I'd ever do it anyway.

I got a sneaking suspicion it could be done, and your longer exposure comment might be the answer.

Understood, just wanted to be sure. I think it might be possible and Gardman is going to try it out as he explained above.

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.

Thumbs up, Dave. I'm surely interested in whether that would work.

No arched back, but I am the original owner. It's got great tone and a 50-year-old fat dust bunny inside.

It might be pregnant. I understand dust bunnies have extremely long periods of gestation. It might be about to pop.
