Short version: I was gluing the bridge back on a cheap acoustic guitar today and the top layer of wood is SUPER soft. Like balsa wood soft. Shaving it level with a wood with a chisel was like ing cheese. But the next layer down is like real wood. Why would they do this? It is a cheap Chinese guitar with a thick red finish but why build it to fail?
I got it for free so I can't complain but I wonder why the plywood wouldn't have the toughest layer on the outside? Is this common on acoustic guitars?
