RED is everywhere in my shop. RED gets everywhere. RED turns the dog pink. Why, you ask, is it that way, why everything is soooooooooooooo RED?
It is the sanding dust from the Paduak wood we are using for the latest and probably greatest guitar. It is such a pain in the ass to work with , due to the fact that it is so RED, so it must be worth the effort.
Actually, Paduak is considered to be one of the worlds greatest tome woods, as since we have already discovered that guitar backs need to be part of the sound, it stands to reason that these new guitar creations will be outstanding.

Not an alien being, but a clever bracing system which adds the necessary strength to the back but allows the back to properly vibrate. While the top wood produces the MOST sound, the back adds a lot to the entire mix.
A most famous guitar builder of the 1800's, Antonio Torres, reportedly built a guitar with the back and sides made from paper mache' to prove a point about the top wood producing the sound. It supposedly sounded good. However the guitars of that period were so QUIET they were hard to hear except being very close to the player.
Today, we expect more volume and indeed demand it, hence the back needs to contribute as well, hence the cool bracing.
