I just strung up this cherry 00. I thought I'd try something different and I stained the neck black. It's an interesting contrast to the cherry body. Otherwise, it's pretty simple and clean. It sounds nice already.

Very nice. I the body shape based on the L-00?

"I the body shape based on the L-00?"

Yes Pat. It's a L-00. I guess I should just say so. I just thought that would make it sound to much like Gibson. It is my build, not thiers...

That is sweet, Steve. It came out great. What did you use for the neck stain? Was it sprayed?

Hey Brad. The neck was sprayed with black transtint in EM-6000 (50 drops per oz.). I masked off the headplate and the heel cap...

I was just wondering if that's what it was based on. I love that shape. I've built a few with that shape. I had a 30s Gibson L-00 a while back; mine aren't at all like the Gibsons, except for that shape. It's a classic.

Great looking guitar. I really like cherry for smaller bodied guitars.
