Jumbo Finally Strung up - Number 4

Post by glasalle1 »

Finally have my Number 4 Strung up (Number 3 almost there too). Was playing her this morning, and happy with the sound. A few tweaks to the Nut, and it will play nicely i think. Thanks to John for his mentorship!!!

Details:
Mad RW B&S, Bearclaw Sitka Top, Curly Koa bindings, Spalted Maple rosette, and maple/koa purflings

Really nice! The inlay of your initials is very well done.

Thanks Guys!

Here's a pic of the back. I pulled an older one to show the curly koa binding.

Turned out beautiful. The Koa sets it off.

Hanging with John had rubbed off. Well conceived and done.
