Per Hans it’s a 90’s D-4 or D-25 top, so I guess whatever they were using at the time. My guess is Sitka. Hopefully he can reuse the bridge. That’s the goal. I’m going to ask him shortly.Hey, Guildy, is the replacement top Sitka, or is it Adirondack?
Is he re-using that bridge, or sourcing a new one? I assume re-use. This guitar's gonna' be awesome.
It wouldn’t be noticeable in that photo. But up close the bridge will rock on the top. Will have to be scraped back into shape to glue down properly. I sent a message to Hans.
Please excuse me for being uninformed, but per the neck what does overset mean?Top went on today. I asked Steve if there were any major issues with the neck angle when he did the dry fit. He said nothing too crazy but it was noticeably overset.
Tilted too far back rather than forward as I understand it.
Yes, neck re-sets are typicaly inspired by underset necks, mean after some years the action is too high and the saddle too low. (picture 3)
Yep.
Yep, sitka. No adi in Guilds until Tacoma
Keep 'em coming buddy.
Sanding, finish, refret, bridge, neck set, and probably several other things. He told me end of October but he seems to be making quick progress.
Initial bridge placement 
Preparing surfaces for stain.
Just realized he's re-using original through-slot bridge? Made me remember we had a discussion recently about whether saddles were normally glued-in on those (doesn't make sense to me, I don't see a need, but apparently it's been frequently seen).
He’s reusing it at my request. It’s BRW. I’ll inquire about his thoughts on that since I want him to make two saddles anyway. FWIW I think mine was glued in but not overly so.
Yeah, just forgot if you'd already mentioned re-using the saddle, and where that discussion about glued-in saddles occurred.
