Hey guys! Here is my latest guitar, I strung it up the other night. This is #8 for me and the first one I made specifically for someone else with a certain sound in mind. It was a good challenge and made me think about everything in a little different way. Cosmetically, I think it is okay, I never did a full scale drawing and I am not sure the bridge and headstock go well with the body shape. Little gaps in the purfling and binding are still my nemesis too. This is my 5th French polish and this one is by far the best of the lot. Now that I don't dread the mystery of it each time I find I kind of like it. Here are the specs:
Red Spruce top (with little wings)
Honduran RW 4 pc. back and sides, headstock
Mahogany neck
Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard, bridge, binding
curly maple purfling
spalted maple rosette, end graft, back headstock
bone pins, nut, saddle
Schaller vintage tuners
26" scale
French polish
I like these guitars with their large upper bout. After reading about the flying buttresses and the potential for the upper bout contributing to the upper harmonics, I am excited to try to incorporate that into one of these size guitars. Thanks for looking!
