Smallman type guitar-luthier Valencio, Edson-Arched back







The Arched back, is made from a cold-molded plywood.

I made it from 2 layers of Jacaranda Santos (inside/outside), and 3 layers of best Brazilian rose cedar(in the middle).

The system, I use to make the plywood is the W.E.S.T. System (wood epoxi saturation technic).

It is a very strong, self-structured board, don't have to use any internal structure, in the guitar, to support it, providing more volume and sound projection.
