Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire		Nice. I used a piece of that same red cedar on te C2C4. Soft-as-hell, but sure rings out.

Location: Upper Left USA		Yes, but without any of that scientic research and weighing involved. The lattitude brace is probably heavy but the width is greater too.

Just have to string it up and see. The access hole should allow for brace shaving.

Location: Upper Left USA		So I guess this is what happens when there's no Lifeguard at the Gene Pool...



You end up with a Semi-Hollowbody Breadwinner VXT.

Very light. Still in the adjusting phase but at least it hasn't imploded yet.
