This is #6, and was commissioned by my brother. I believe the back and sides came from The Zootman in last year's swap meet. Some other specs: sapele neck flamed maple binding ebony fingerboard, bridge pins & endpin cocobolo rosette and headplate Madagascar rosewood bridge bone nut & saddle two-way adjustable truss rod two carbon fiber reinforcement bars in neck Gotoh 510 faux-ivory vintage tuners sitka spruce bracing maple bridge plate abalone fingerboard dots mother-of-pearl headstock inlay 25.4" scale 2 11/16" nut width 14 frets clear of body dovetail neck joint Ameritage humidified hardshell case Here's a link to the album so far. I'll be adding some more detail shots tomorrow. http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii4/skulpter1/Ribbon%20Sapele%20and%20Bearclaw%20Sitka%20Dreadnought/?albumview=slideshow Here's a brief soundclip of my friend and mentor James Condino noodling around in DADGAD ala Michael Hedges. http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/download.php?id=29624&stream=1&passcode= And a teaser. |
