Official Luthiers Forum!

I finally got around to wrapping this one up yesterday. It sat just waiting for setup for close to a month. Anyway, here are the specs:

Mango soundboard, back, and sides
Sitka bracing
Mahogany neck with ebony laminated into the heel
Ebony fingerboard with bloodwood purfling line
Ebony bridge and bindings
Vintage bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins
Radial multi-wood tiled rosette
Madagascar Rosewood S inlay at the 12th fret
Tru-Oil finish
24.9" scale

It's a pretty cool little guitar. The sound still is opening up pretty rapidly. The bass is a bit muted, but the mids come through very cleanly. The highs are also very clean, but do not project as well as the mids. To be honest I don't even know why I took on this project, and why I did some of the things the way I did, but it was fun to try some different kinds of things that you don't see on a guitar too often! Please pardon the low quality pics. I need to find some good light...

Great guitar! Love the peghead!!!

Nice!!
I like your peghead too, and your logo "E".
Your pics are better than mine.
If you put a backdrop of some dark material behind,
the pic will "pop".

I like the overall "earthy" look of it. Real warm and inviting. I like the multicolored rosette too.

Just love that volute.
