Looks great Ron. Sounds like some very favorable feedback also. Must =
feel as good as it sounds!

I'm generally aware of bridge mass loading, but belly rail? Is it the =
case that the original construction had a low-mass/thin belly rail and =
you wanted to beef it up? Was this done by increasing the thickness of =
the belly rail by adding dense wood to the belly side of the belly rail? =
Or how? Brass/lead weights?

I don't suppose any of that would benefit the 6" x 8" solid white ash =
belly rail on my Knabe? Every time I look at that thing I realize I'm =
not the only one guilty of overkill!   ;-)

BTW: Where'd you ever find such a fine looking soundboard panel?

  I did some bracing and mass loading of the belly rail in the treble, =
and got a pretty fair sustain out of the treble.
