I bought this from Bob a couple of years ago and set it aside waiting for the right client/project. Finally things came together and here's the result. It's an Engelmann/Quilted Sapele 13 fret 00. 5 piece laminated neck, mahog./flamed maple/EIR/flamed maple/mahog.The lacquer is just about cured, so I hope to be able to buff it out this weekend. ![]() ![]() It will have an ebony pyramid bridge and Gold Gotoh 510's with the small black knobs. The pictures don't show the binding/purfling detail very well, but it has BRW binding with b/red/w/b and a burled red maple rosette with the same purfling scheme. The burl also came from Bob C. He has some really nice stuff. Thanks for looking. |

Jimmy - Very nice work. But I thought that blue finger boards were out this year? Really, it looks very fine. |

Wow, that Sapele looks as deep as the ocean, and has as many waves. Great looking guitar coming into being there. |

Jimmy, you never disappoint us. I'd love to see some more close-ups. That neck looks a perfect match for the Sapele. Steve |

Jimmy, that is one pretty machine you got going. I like the little squiggle under the C logo. I also like the rounded fretboard. ![]() |
