This is the back of a guitar called Jack. The back is solid walnut and the bracings are spruce. Luthier Gerry Gruber will make this piece of wood into a guitar called Jack. Gerry makes Xaver guitars, and this guitar will be a Xaver guitar, but nonetheless, an Xaver guitar called Jack. I know this back will eventually become a guitar called Jack, because as we speak, Jack's nitrocellulose finish is drying. It has been drying for a week now, and will dry/cure for another five weeks. Have you ever sat and watched paint dry--for six weeks? Well, after the first week I decided to make this Blog because, well, watching paint dry for a whole week is really a bit of a drag. So for the next 5 weeks or so, I am hoping to make the time go a little faster by Blogging. I have never blogged before, so if anybody actually reads this, please bare with me.
