I finally got some pictures taken of my 9th build which was completed last month, and figured I should share them here OM with Brazilian back and sides, Sitka top, ebony binding on body and headstock. Here is a video of one of my friends playing it on the 1st day it was strung up      Fred

Nice Build! I hope to reach 9 sometime. The way I've been buying wood lately, you think it would be sometime this year! |

That looks really nice, well up to your usual high standard. Aeromodeller - that explains a lot, needs neat, carefully work, fine detail. Was it RC, FF, C/L ? Used to do a bit myself, father was keen, brother now too. |

Nice work, Fred! Sounds good too. I like the (not volute) thumstop. What tuners are those? Can the buttons be removed/replaced with wood? I'm looking for something like that. Sweet! |

Beautiful work fred...Looks like good clean work. I'm really enjoying the shape and the cutaway. Have you attempted cutaways in the past or is this a first? Sounds great too! That same Dylan poster in the backround of the video is hanging in my room

To address some questions Colin I flew CL aerobatics (FAI F2B) at 11 World Championships on team Canada and Indoor duration F1D at 4 worlds, I still fly the Indoor events though Guitars have taken over my main interest. Yes I like the sound ports and include them on most guitars, though not on my Dreadnoughts or the 12 fret 000, the type of players who like those style of guitars don't get the idea. My Bluegrass buddies think its a spittoon or somewhere to place a drink. On guy asked when I would install the pickup preamp in the hole. The tuners are Grover 18:1 staytite but I will not use them any more the quality of the last several sets was crap, tons of slop in the gears, it took 4 sets to make up 3 usable sets. Someone did a tutorial on removing the buttons on this forum. I have used cutaways on most of my guitars Thanks for the kind words guys, I will be completing the Small jumbo wedge with the Zootmans wild figured wood in a few weeks, the lacquer needs another week or so of curing then I can buff and assemble.
