Two years ago today, Brazilian guitarist and luthier Sergio Abreu died. He has probably built a thousand guitars in his life (my estimation based on some forum posts). Mine is #270. I remember reading an interview in which he said the humidity in Rio de Janeiro was an issue, especially when shipping his guitars to Europe. The Brazilian rosewood he used could dry out and crack. And yes, #270 has a cracked back as well, but still sounds as great as ever :)
