| Post subject: | 2nd Build - friedrich based classical (Starting) |
As I start gearing up for the next build, I'd like to do this correctly and get my documentation down from the beginning. I have plans for a 650 scale classical guitar based on the Daniel Friedrich designs. Size seems a bit nebulous at the moment. the plans say his guitars varied from x to y so I need to settle down on that shortly. B/S are a fairly straight forward Padauk. Was really stunning when I first got it, but as I have learned, it tones down a bit over time. Has not browned, but the intense red/yellows have mellowed. Source: RC Tonewoods Top is WRC. Decent looking set with a nice complex taptone. Not as glassy as the redwood top on my build #1 but I am happy with it. Source: Alaska Specialty Woods Neck: Not bought yet but am thinking cedar. looking. Fretboard: Not bought yet. Thinking something to pick up the red tones of the Padauk... so maybe cocobolo or madrose? |

Thank you Bob. At the very least, the reference gives lots of info on his builds and photos that will be helpful. I have already managed to resolve some questions i had! His website is fairly detailed and does provide some additional things to think about as i proceed. This is going to be fun..! |
