Another Walnut build

Post by CavalierKingCharles »

Here's a Walnut build I did last year. It's from the same stump I used to build my other all Walnut guitar.
I bought the it at a garage sale for $20, it was holding up one end of a bench.

Sorry, a little vague on the info.
I started the build last year and finished this year.
Black Walnut back and sides.
Western Red Cedar top.
Sycamore binding and head plate with Walnut purfling.
Port Orford Cedar neck.
Katalox fret board with Maple dots.
Granadillo bridge.
The Rosette is Walnut and Maple.
Stew Mac rattle can lacquer

Thanks for looking.

One might say you're gettin' all jiggy with your guitar builds.....

Thanks all,

Yep, I built each jig when I built my first guitar.

The Sycamore came from RC Tonewood

Build looks great. How'd you make that 2 sided radius dish?

The guitar looks really good. I really like the rosette and how you made it. It looks like you can get some more rosettes out of the half circle ring that you made.

Thanks for the kind words. This is the best sounding guitar I've built yet. The Walnut WRC combo is fantastic.

I'm sure I could have, and should have been able to get more than one rosette from the circle...but I only got one. I'll try again next time.
