*UPDATE* Audio clips here:




#26 got finished up this weekend and she's settling in nicely. Figured I would take some pics of her while she adjusts to her new life as a guitar.

Bubinga B&S, Redwood top, Amazon RW fretboard and IRW bridge. Flamed maple appointments. EM6000 matte finish

Lemme know if there are any questions!

Well if it sounds anywhere near as good as it looks it's a winner.

Is it a sinker top?

How did you do that burst finish?

Wow! I love a subtle burst like that. OLFers have been posting a lot of fantastic work here.

Not a sinker. The top was actually quite red/pink before finish.

I sealed the guitar and then dyed some finish for the burst. Then I just did regular finish for the rest of the coats (last 2 or 3 were matte)

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Really nice ax!

I am interested in the inlays on the fretboard. I don't know if you used a flash on your camera, but I can't clearly see what is happening there..

Also how deep is it at the tail and heel?

Nothing special with the fretboard inlay, just maple inlayed into amazon rosewood. There is a thin black purfling line too.

Tail Depth: ~4.5"
Heel Depth: ~3.7"

Looks great and sounds great Marcus! The full range of tone is certainly there to my ear. Thanks for posting the audio.

Really nice sound, Marcus! Makes me also realize I need to get a player in here to record sound samples after completing an instrument. :D
