Number 5 is done. A Koa and cedar 00
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2016 3:35 pm
I've finally finished my Koa/cedar 00. The finishing took longer withe this one. I pore filled with zpoxy and padded on Royal Lac. Not perfect, but that's my inexperience. I do like the overall look of the woods and I am impressed with the warm tone. I also like the sound projection from the sound port. Definitely louder to the players ear.
The particulars:
Martin style 00
25.4 scale
Koa back and sides
Sinker cedar top
Spanish cedar kerfing
Spruce braces
Purpleheart/abalone rosette
B. Rosewood/purpleheart bridge
Purpleheart end wedge
Cocbolo head plate
