I can't remember which. Was it 2"x3" or was it 2"x4", have to check.



Looks like 2x3.



Maybe 2x4. The two middle ones were 2X3 stacked on each other. I was unsure if I was going to make it acoustic or electric and left it long enough for either and started on the neck.



I resawed some spruce before and bent the sides and it sat like that as I was more concerned with my plants.



I was making this one light in weight because I had a chemical reaction and it sensitized my skin. I have a normal Stratocaster but it becomes painful on my lap. So I am making one that if fairly light. I am going to use ukulele tuners that weigh less than normal ones to keep the neck lighter and the balance of the guitar better. I have a pickup that is for a archtop styled guitar that is attached to the neck. I was floundering around back and forth making it and stumbled forward to where I am now. I will do the spruce acoustic guitar yet, either the above sides or make a Les Paul sized body. I have made smaller acoustics with spruce, there is a learning curve but the wood can make a decent guitar. I have made both steel string and nylon with spruce. This was my first nylon. It was an experimental one and I did not waste time putting a rosette in. I regret it as it did make for a fun guitar.



I guess I must say the wood was choice wood, it just was unlucky enough to be made into lumber. Over the years I have checked the lumber piles to find the choice sticks of wood that was good enough to make a guitar out of. Straight grain and quartered wood.
