Very nice ! That white/black/white purfling some you bought or did you have to make it up somehow? It looks neat. |

Sycamore works good on a guitar. Interesting, but more low key. I used it on a couple of violins, and for linings. It bends, but doesn't snap easy. I had trouble breaking spruce on tight bends. The flecks are hard, and getting flat and smooth is more trouble than on some wood. Looks good. Simple isn't simple to pull off. |

Looks great, Brad. Is your output accelerating? Seems like a new build every two weeks!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

The guitar is only a few days old and is opening up nicely, don't know how much the sycamore is contributing..... |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Yes, I "retired" from my day job almost 2 years ago and build guitars, repair guitars (subcontracting to a repair shop usually doing major work) and work on our house. So I was building about 5 a year and now I am building about 10. The problem I have is selling them since I build at a faster rate then I can sell them. For example, at the moment I have 13 guitars for sale..... |
