This guitar is our eighth, and was a great success. FEATURES: Top: Sitka Spruce Back/Sides: Curly Maple Neck/Headplate: Curly Maple Bridge/Fretboard: Madagascar Ebony Binding: Black Walnut Pickguard: Figured Walnut I'd post more pictures, but I've been having issues with getting the uploader to load my pictures. It seems that every time I try to load more than 1 picture to a post, it gets stuck and I have to start over...effectivly limiting me to 1 pic per post. If someone knows how to get around that, I'd be very appreciative! |

On this guitar, we also used a soundport design akin to a Breedlove design we saw in our local Guitar Center (A grove of ideas, by the way). The soundport is on the [i]lower[i] bout of the instrument, and is a teardrop shape of about 3" length by 1.5" (the guitar is gone, kinda going by memory here) width at the bulge. I found this design to be much more responsive than a previous design based off of the standard location and size of most soundports. Just thought I'd throw that out there. |

yup...I love maple. Looks good, Jake. Thanks for the shots. Looks like a 3-piece back sans "spacers" or "dividers" or whatever you want to call them. Interesting! A very clean look. Steve |
