My friend and apprentice, and V-Carve master Eric Olsen and I, have been working on some new concepts for a DT/Balsa core ... Very excited to make some new DT's from this design. Very difficult to make because of the thin tolerances, almost like Nomex/Balsa. The wood directly under the bridge has the balsa going in a different direction than the 45% angle for more strength under the strings.
