Spent the recent Bank Holiday Weekend making a start on my third guitar build with Mark Bailey. Arrived late in the afternoon on Saturday, and initially did a bit of planning. Somethings I had already planned, but nothing was totally fixed. I thought I'd make an OM with a Cutaway. The OM fairly rapidly changed slightly to Mark's Bootlegger design which is a little wider than an OM, but there's a big plus in that he obviously has templates, and a shell to build the body in available. I knew that I wanted a 1.75 inch (45mm) Nut. But then he asked what string spacing did I want at the Bridge? Hadn't really thought about it, but after a bit of thought, and checking my Archtop which has 54mm, I've decided on 56mm spacing.

The Cutaway was simply drawn by me. I've based it on the shallow but curvy style of the Bourgeois OMC.
