Chronicle #1 Spartan Project with Springer Guitars: the body

This video is part of a series of videos documenting the Spartan Project done in collaboration with luthier Mikaël Springer. The idea is to film each and every steps of the building of Spartan model guitar.

In this video Mikaël starts the work on the pieces of Spanish Cedar to build the body.

Preparing the 2 body pieces

Planing the body blanks

Finding the best layout and center line

Gluing the body pieces together

As it is the first video I hope you were as excited as me to watch the birth of a guitar by the hands of a skilled luthier. I can't wait to see the next steps.

Stay tuned for the next update on the Spartan Project!
