A couple new Builds

Post by glasalle1 »

I am working on 2 more guitars - Numbers 3 and 4 for me. One is an OM with HOG B&S, Lutz top, Zebrawood rosette (Radial) and trim (Bindings to come next) and Macassar Ebony FB and Bridge. The other is what I call a Jumbo PS, my take on a Prairie State guitar. This one is Mad RW with Bearclaw sitka top, and will have all Curly Koa appointments including binding, as well as Ebony bridge and FB. I think I will bind the fingerboard, which is ebony, as well with the curly Koa.

Here is the label I decided to use with my guitars. The blues guy is a painting that my friend Dean Baer did (do google search to see his work) that I made into a sepia tone:

Here is the Mad RW B&S. Yes, she is pretty flat towards the edges, but i had this wood for almost 2 years and it hasn't moved at all - so i figured I would build with it :-). I think it has a bit of Brazilian look to it :-):

Next up is to sand, scrape sides level, etc and prepare to route for the bindings.

Here is Number 1. The guitar on the left is the one I built - HOG, Lutz with Mad RW appointments. The guitar on the right is my Franklin PS.

This is number 2, an L-00 that I have not strung up yet. That will be next.

They both look really nice. I like the Madagascar Rosewood FB. That stuff is hard to come by, where'd you get yours?
