Hey Lars, that looks awesome! Looks like the koa and sinker will go together very well. I'm looking forward to seeing them under finish. Eat Drink

Pretty sweet, Lars. I agree - the combo of those woods is really nice.

Makes me want to start thinking about what to do with that sinker redwood top I've been storing.... [:Y:]

Hey Lars;
I'm not normally a big fan of dreads either, but I like your take on the body shape. The changes are subtle, but distinctive. Very nice!
That Koa is gonna be killer under finish!

Thanks alot Daniel. Yes I made it my own design, alittle larger and a little more curves I guess. its 16.4" lower bout or 41.7 cm. also a quit deep 4.75" lower bout. the tap is awesome. Look forward to hear the S-Redwood once finished.

Hej Lars,

This dreadnaugt looks great and I can't wait to know how the sinker sounds either! I have a secret plan to use sinker myself in a later project...

Apart from that it's cool to see someone from Sweden, because I've been wondering if amateur guitar building was something big in Sweden (I'm wondering that because I'm half Swedish) are there any forums there?


God Jul och gott nytt År!

Gwenn, Paris

Lars,
That will be one killer guitar! That is a great combination, and it will be a canon! Great job, and keep up the great work!
