I remembered a guitar that I had seen at the "Art of the Guitar" exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
It was a guitar with a very lovely and delicate classical shape that was made in the 19th century to commemorate
the birthday of Napolean. Borrowing an image from the exhibit website, I traced over it in my mechanical design software.
I added a "cutaway" to the basic shape to facilitate playing above the twelfth fret. I guess those 19th century
French people weren't too concerned with playing fiery licks way up on the neck of the guitar.
Then I began to build and assemble the guitar next...>
