G'day Everyone,

This is my fourth effort, a 0-18 style acoustic guitar. I am very happy with this guitar.

Here are a few details:

Indian Rosewood opportunity grade back and sides.
Sitka top
Tassie Blackwood appointments
Scale length 24.9 on a indian rosewood fingerboard
Peghead inlay is a trial logo?

Here are a few pictures. Sorry they are a little dark but it was cloudy in sunny Queensland today.

There will be some sound files in the future. The guitar was only strung up yesterday so she has to loosen up a bit.

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Alan

Great guitar. And I like the inlay in the headstock. Subtle and subdued, but clearly yours.

Don't worry about it being dark...I was just happy to see green grass. It may be bright here in Nova Scotia, but its only due to the sun reflecting off all the snow!

You can call it luck if you want, but I'd call it skill.

Love it! And the logo's great.

And if that's what they're calling opportunity grade, I'm there - just enough character to look different than the average Indian set. I'll try some.

how does she sound?

G'day Corky,

Thanks mate for the encouragement! Yep the opportunity grade from Allied is dang good value. The little guitar sounds nice and warm with a midrange kick. There will be a sound bite in the future once she has settled in.

Cheers

Alan
