Todd, I have a set of Anigre I picked up some time ago. I am a fan of Mahogany. How would you describe the tone of Anigre compared to Mahogany? Also what tops are best matched with Anigre?


Thanks

Thanks for the input. I've got a great set I'm keeping for a bigger guitar for myself. No problems with the bend on the cutaway? I'm guessing you used Supersoft? I was thinking of a J-200ish. I think I will go with a Cedar top just because I don't think I've ever played a Cedar guitar that I didn't like. Also no shortage of it in this part of the world.

And here's to all you Vets here and south of the border. Today is our Remembrance Day.

Cheers,
Danny

Todd, what's that bottom picture of? It looks j-45ish. It looks good in any case.

Todd, Thanks for the info. I just finished a slope Dred and really like the way it came out as far as tone goes. I did the same as you with some forward shifting of the bracing. Just seems to have that balanced chimey sound that is pleasing.

That's a great looking slope shoulder Todd..
I have build a few 12 fret slopes and I plan on building a 14 fretter from the same body size very soon

Great looking guitar Todd!!

I love curly Anigre. Nice looking stuff. I also love the razor mottle figure in some boards. Not to crazy about the plain stuff. Looks like European Furniture for the late fifties and early sixties. I think it is used extensively on "Mad Men".

Hey Todd, What is that binding in the middle pic?

Thanks Filippo.
