Finished the Lutz\Cocobolo 00

Post by johnnparchem »

This is a relatively quickly built guitar that I made for a niece. Standard x brace, no pruflings a small bit of bling.

Top is Lutz Spruce, has a bit of run-out thus slightly two toned.
A nice Cocobolo back and side set. The wood was dense so I braced it as a non-active back.
The binding are maple, the rosette, end wedge and heel cap is spalted maple.
The head stock veneer is Amboyna burl
My logo is MOP and ebony

Here is a video of me trying to play it

Beautiful guitar and sounds great, too. I especially like the wood you chose and the headstock design is very elegant.
