Mastergrade 4A Blackwood Dreadnaught Guitar Back and Side Set Book-matched

Unique, sustainably sourced Australian Blackwood from the Otway Ranges in Victoria. This set has been selected from the same log, ensuring consistency in colour and timber properties. The timber is processed to ensure the grain is as straight as possible to minimise long-grain runout and increase stability, strength and acoustic qualities. 

This back set offers the ability to have a sap line down the middle or choose to use only heartwood.

Back Set

Minimum dimensions: 540mm x 220mm x 3.5mm (LxWxT) see outlines on photos for a guide

Finish: Thin-kerf Bandsaw

Side Set

Minimum dimensions: 850mm x 125mm x 2.5mm (LxWxT) 

see outlines on photos for a guide

Finish: Sanded

Density guide (Light, Medium, Dense): Medium light

This timber has been air dried and seasoned for at least 4 years and has reached an EMC of approximately 8%.

Blemishes/Defects: as seen in the photos there are some very small pith spots. The side set has less figure than the back set. This set has been priced accordingly.

Disclamer: It is recommended that the luthier ensure that the timber has reached the appropriate EMC for their environment and application, and is  stabilised to their working conditions before glueing. Otway Tonewoods holds no responsibility for the luthier failing to condition the timber for their needs. We give a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all products if it fails to meet the description.

Highly figured timber can be difficult to work with, particularly when bending sides or planing. We will not be liable for damage or breakages of the timber during construction.

Shipping times may vary depending on the location and COVID delays. Please be patient with shipping delays and get in touch if you have any issues.

If at all you have any questions or concerns please contact us.

As always, I gave due diligence to this product review
Format: Kindle
I am back once again. As always, I gave due diligence to my reviews. To those of you who found my ratings of multiple PMP publications helpful, you will want to read on. See collective ratings under “Michael Henry” https://www.amazon.com/Project-Management-Professional-Certification-Exam/dp/1492310549/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1CXATM61H9GX&dchild=1&keywords=sohel+akhter%2C+exam+prep+book%2C+6th+ed&qid=1606711795&sprefix=sohel%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-3 That said, all my Agile book reviews are Verified Purchases. Now let’s get down to business shall we. This time around I decided to rate multiple Agile Guides using the same criteria listed on my PMP Guide Evaluations. Obviously, it was necessary to revise/tailor the criteria to meet the unique requirements for Agile-based project management versus the Traditional Waterfall approach. In other words, my ratings were based on how well a given Agile publication satisfies requirements as defined by PMI, AgileAlliance.org and applicable industry standards. As for why I chose to evaluate Agile-based guides is simple. It is my understanding that PMI will be instituting new guidelines regarding their PMP certification requirements. Part of the new requirement will include testing for proficiency in the application of Agile Methodologies (50% of PMP Exams?). More importantly, I happen to know (I have many contacts in major industries) major players such as Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Apple, Boeing, Raytheon, and various pharmaceutical companies are all looking to migrate their systems over to an agile-based project model. It has come to my attention that executive management teams have been chartered by the CEO’s of these companies, with making the transition to the “Agile Way” going forward. Assuming my assertion is true, it is in your best interest to start preparing now if you expect to stay current given the paradigm shift slowly but surely coming our way. Change is hard but it is necessary! After poring over 11 comparable guides, here is what I came up with: Agile Rating Criteria: A) Cost. B) Dual Purpose Feature (DP). Answer depends on whether Guide offers Guidance on Agile project selection/management *AND* Agile PMI-ACP compliant test questions that cover all chapters. C) Level of Comprehensive test (where applicable) and content coverage. D) How consistent chapter focus is aligned with percentage of test questions. E) Multiple methods of presenting the same material to increase comprehension through redundancy. F) How well diagrams, tables, graphs, charts, and presentation material were utilized to provide a contextual understanding of various Agile methodologies. G) Coverage of test taking strategies for deciphering test questions. H) How well test questions answers are explained at the end of each chapter. I) Using Real-life case studies to “drive home” complex and/or complicated constructs (look it up if you don’t know the difference between the two). J) Online test bank availability. GUIDES I PURCHASED AND REVIEWED: 1) Author Jack Lead: “Agile Project Management: How to master Scrum, Kanban and all Agile tools to optimize the organization, Performance, Quality and Results. Includes Kaizen guide to grow step by step and achieve goals. (4 Stars). 2) Author Jack Lead: “Project Management: This book includes Lean Guide + Agile Project Management.

The Definitive Guide to Master Scrum, Kanban, XP, Crystal, FDD, DSDM. (4 Stars ) 7) Author Joseph Phillips: “ALL-IN-ONE PMI-ACP Agile Certified Practitioner, Exam Guide. (dual purpose) (5 stars) 8) Author Hans Wendel van Hespen: “Agile methods: Accurate match! Which agile methodoloy is most appropriate for your IT-Project?” (3 ½ stars) 9) Author Sohel Akhter: “Agile Project Management, Aligned with Agile Practice Guide, First edition, PMI and Agile Alliance.” (dual purpose) (5 stars). 10) Author Konnor Cluster: “AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT, Learn How to Manage a Project with Agile methods, Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming.”(4 ½ Stars) 11) Author PMI: “Agile Practice Guide.” (4 ½ Stars) After careful review of the above Agile publications, My top 3 picks are as follows: 1st place: Author Sohel Akhter: “Agile Project Management, Aligned with Agile Practice Guide, First edition, PMI and Agile Alliance.”(dual purpose) (5 stars). 2nd place: Author Joseph Phillips: “ALL-IN-ONE PMI-ACP Agile Certified Practitioner, Exam Guide. (dual purpose) (5 stars) 3rd place: Author Konnor Cluster: “AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT, Learn How to Manage a Project with Agile methods, Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming.”(4 ½ Stars) *AND* Author PMI: “Agile Practice Guide.” (4 ½ Stars) Honorable mention: All 4 Star ratings ***Special Note: I chose not to include publications targeted for Beginners (don’t want to be accused of comparing apples to oranges). For the record, I will be posting these evaluations for 1st 2nd 3rd place and “honorable mention” reviews only. For those of you wondering why I chose to evaluate 11 Agile Guides. The answer is simple, rating these guides not only enhances my understanding of the various Agile based project management methodologies, it also allows me to continuously improve my knowledge base relative to the current advances being made in the field of project management, across a wide array of industry types. It’s all about staying informed lest you want to get left behind. In closing, I hope you all find my effort to provide guidance, when selecting an Agile Guide Publication, useful!

Good Information, But Poorly Made
Format: Paperback
Educational and I was getting it to assist with getting my PMP. However my only criticisms about the book is that there is a ton of empty space on the pages. I think there would’ve been a better more environmentally friendly way to compact the information in the book. In addition it is very hard to read the book when the spine is constantly spreading apart. I’m afraid that the book pages are going to rip off one time or another. They haven’t yet but it is a concern.

Agile Practice Guide
Format: Paperback
Una muy buena compra para tener como guia repaso de los conceptos mas importantes de las metodologías agiles, y que variables tener en cuenta a la hora de encarar un proyecto y definir con que metodología se gestionará el mismo. En un mundo en donde todos quieren IMPONER metodologías que todavía no entienden muy bien pero estan de moda, es una muy buena herramienta para entender cuando es valido hablar de metodologías agiles, de cuando hablamos de metodologías hibridas, o inclusive discutir si no es un approach mas eficiente el de ejecutar una metodología waterfall o lineal. 100% recomendado.
