, and very nicely done and with such a wide array of woods. The purflings and slotted head really add a classic look to the entire guitar IMO.

I finished #3 Walnut w/sapwood Back and Sides Port Orford Cedar Top Wenge Bindings Vera wood rosette and head plate Ziricote Fretboard and bridge Pink Ivory with brass layer heel cap It has a few cosmetic mistakes but overall it turned out nice. It sounds very crisp and clear with lots of bass for a parlor. I learned a lot from this build. Hope you all like it. |

I like it. To me, it has kind of a retro look. The binding/purfling work is something to be proud of. Very,very nice. |

Excellent. But be careful! It looks like those trees want to eat it! |

Are you sure you didn't mean #33? #333? Love the binding/purfling. I'm a sucker for wood in lieu of plastic. |

What finish did you use ? I am insanely jealous of your parlor !!!! I am in the middle of a Scott Antes shape parlor and having my usual problems firstly getting the neck angle and other various issues. Love this one though. WEll Done!! |

I am also in the middle of building two Antes parlors, but mine are nowhere near this ornate. Good job! |

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. BTW Rusty, I used Watco Nitro Lacquer rattle cans from Home Depot. |

This is a very neat instrument. Every part fits together very nicely. I especially like the bridge. Where did you get the bgb purfling? Or all the purflings for that matter? Dave |

The purfling is the PF16 from Lmi. It come in two pieces and I used one for the top and the other for the bottom of the binding. |

Beautiful !! I really like the ornamentation. I've gotta try those Marquetry bindings and purflings from LMI... |

Nice looking instrument! One question when you go that deep for the binding and purflings on the rims, did you need deeper linings? |
|
| Author: | hummingbird [ Thu Jul 25, 2013 8:03 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: #3 Finished (walnut parlor) |
I made solid linings which were slightly larger and I try not to cut the channels too deep. More scraping though. |
