Just finished a fun show with some guitars old and new.
These are the new ones.
Top one is a Grand Symphony in plain Black Walnut/Lutz with flame Maple binding, EIR FB, EIR headplate and backplate. Plumb rosette.
And below is an OM in Macassar Ebony/Redwood with Bubinga binding, Ebony FB and headplate and Wenge backplate. Spalted Beech rosette.
Both necks are Wenge/Spanish cedar, tuners are Gotoh.
Finish Enduro Var.
They're both of to the Ullapool Guitar Festival in a couple of weeks to meet Clive Carroll, and quite probably several other guitarists.
Better put some new strings on them!
Been promised some soundclips.

Must admit I like it and it's been much admired.
Although one very good player looked at it and thought, looks great, must sound dissapointing.....

Macassar and redwood is a nice combination color-wise. Very classy looking

Looks great! How thin did you go on the Macassar?

Getting Clive Carroll to play one of one's guitars would be a real treat. One of the great guitar players of his generation.

And a nice bloke!
