Hello everyone. I haven't post my work here before. I've finished this guitar a few months ago and had the pics posted at the MIMForum. I had allergy reactions(headache + temporary lung weakening) when my first time with cocobolo, which was twenty one guitars ago. I'm lucky with this one ,tho. I was told that the owner likes her ,so that makes me happy. Here is a sound clip played by a friend of mine, Donald Chen, who has made two guitars so far...

Beautiful guitar! Ok, I have to ask....is the rim of that made from one long piece of cocobolo? If not, that's the best bookmatch at the tail wedge I've ever seen. Very cool way of purfling, I might add...looks like it was inlayed into a solid piece of wood. Very sharp... |

Outstanding work Chih-Wei. The guitar is beautiful. I agree with the others, unbelievable book match at the tail. Listening to the sound clip, the guitar sounds like a very fine instrument. Thanks for posting your work. I look forward to seeing more of it. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations")

Thanks all for the kind words! The finish is FP shellac. Todd was right about the wedge. I got this idea from Gilbert guitars. |
