This is #105. It is quilted Sapele from RC Tonewoods. I had this wood for about 4 years. The guitar is a 25.4 scale 12 fret 000. The top is a 7 year old Bear Claw top from Alaska Specialty Tone woods. I used a pyramid bridge with 1 3/4 nut and 2 1/4 string spacing .

Do other woods have the quilted figuring in them if you get the right piece or is that something unique to Sapele? I really like that.

Figured woods can be found in other species. I have a set of High figured maple . This is often called a bees wing quilt

Thanks for all the kind words. I will take this one out to Nazareth for the UMGF Nazfest next week and then it will be heading down to its new home in Ashville NC. It is a sweet play.
