Cool top. I like the ones where the bear claw patterns have symmetry like that. Nice fretboard wood too. |

I like the choices you made. The fretboard with the simple.wide binding, and interesting shape is quite nice. Might as well make things that are different! Nice photos too. |

Bending the binding was a challenge. I do t have a proper pipe so I used a heat gun clamped in my vise as one ha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I believe Sapele (and Bubinga) make wonderful guitars, but aren't given enough respect because of the price. While I do have a 14' 4"x10" plank of H Hog, I've been using it mainly for lighter weight necks. Sapele can make a very good neck too, but is a little heavier. |

Light and resonant. But I ga is nice too… but I find it heavier and harder to get to a thickness I feel “works”… it does finish easily though:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
