4th guitar - Osage Orange

Post by ruby@magpage.com »

Here is number 4. I think the Osage Orange is going to be great - it is very very hard and it rings like a bell. I have read that it is called "poor man's Brazilian Rosewood".

Here it is ready for finish - I will start today!

Looks really good. Nice set of pictures. Are you going to burst it like the pictures of the guitars you have?

Looks very nice Ed. I would really like to hear it when you have it strung up. I have a set of Osage Orange waiting to be caressed into a guitar.
I agree it does ring, I will probably use it when someone wants a really big sound.

Thanks Kevin

I have to figure out how to make a meaningful recording to post. I also have a Nick Lucas tribute that sounds amazing that I have to get recorded.
