Hi All
My last guitar was a resonator that I started in Jan 2009. Well after a very long break which included moving to a new house, setting up a shop etc, I finally built another guitar.
The details.
L-OO 6 string, Slotted headstock, Zebrawood back and sides, with one of Shane's Lutz tops, pinless ebony bridge
Abalone purfling around guitar and neck and headstock and rosette
Waverly 3 on plate tuners, snakewood knobs. K&K pickup, Joes fantastic finish.
Still need final setup and intonation of saddle.

Nice, Andy. I have a sweet spot for Zebrawood, as it's what I built my first with. Beautiful guitar. Welcome back to the process.

Always a treat to see your work, Andy.
This is right up there.
Do you cut the initials for the 12th fret inlay? They're really well done.

Glad to see you building again, Andy. This one is wonderful. I love the silky top and while Z-wood is usually too crazy for my taste, this one is right on target.
