Mrs has said, after painting, that she wants better wood shelves. Everyone knows that better wood comes from the specialist timber merchant that stocks wood that’s also great for guitars..

Got a new shiny! Hadn't heard of Rathbone before but wanted a mahogany acoustic and saw this on eBay. It plays lovely, a lot more base and just a lot more going on higher up (harmonics or something) anyway, instantly my new favourite guitar.

1374Hz natural frequency of a 5mm sitka spruce flat top (if a tele was acoustic!).

I've been doing some modelling of the natural frequencies - the idea is, although simulations aren't perfect (the wood structure tends to be unique), the idea is it gives a good starting point.
