Hello All,

Thought I would share some pics of my latest guitar, it is a HRW/Lutz Spruce 000-13 with dual sound-ports...here it is.

Cheers,

Beautiful. I've never seen dual soundports before. the inside of the guitar is really on full view, so you must be a neat worker. What's the story with the gap between the fingerboard and the top? don't get me wrong, it looks very intentional. But maybe I'm mistaken, and it's just a darkening in the wood there. An amazing guitar though.

Reminds me of a Lowden, but with a slightly more pronounced lower bout. And the bridge design is a nice original touch.

Beautiful Greg.
I like the neck design. It looks like a single piece down to the soundhole. Makes for a very straight fingerboard.
how did you do it?

Thanks guys,

The dual sound-ports work very well, and the fretboard extension is elevated.

Andy, I just used a chunk of mahogany to make the neck and extension, relative to the extension, I made a jig to calculate all of the angles, and another jig to cut the angles into the neck, it's quite a pain but I like the results.

Cheers,
Greg

Very nice looking Greg. So, the neck is bolted on with no glue?

I like that headstock shape too.

Very nice!
It's elegant and understated (which I love in a guitar) and has the styling of a classical but from a modern steel string approach. Very cool! [:Y:]

Everything about it I like, the craftsmanship, the finish, it's all great!

Cheers,
Chad

Elegant guitar, Greg. Very nice.
Say, what is the binding? It's an interesting contrast to the HRW.

Hi Hesh, HRW is one of my favorites too, this guitar just sings!

That's correct, bolt-on, no glue.

Steve, it's bloodwood binding, this stuff is quickly becomming a favorite of mine.

Cheers,
