On this guitar, I used all the best woods I had in my shop. Adirondack red spruce top. Quartersawn Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Snakewood fretboard, head veneers, bridge and binding. Honduran mahogany neck. Nitro finish. Rubner tuners with snakewood buttons. 24.9” scale           Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Another beauty Brad. That Rosewood, that's the good stuff there. |

Wow what a beauty! The snakewood tuner buttons look much like BRW and match beautifully. Bet she sounds incredible. |

Beautiful! Along with the snakewood and the Brazilian, I like that top wood a lot. |

Gorgeous Brad. I used snakewood binding on one recently and I found it to be one of the most difficult binding woods I’ve worked with. How was your experience? Steve |

Steve I had the opposite experience. I found it easy to bend with the attached w/b/w purfling. I bend by hand on a pipe heated with a propane torch. I thickness it to around .085" |

Maybe it’s like ebony, some bends easy and some doesn’t. I also bend on a pipe and I used about the same thickness. I sure do like the way it looks. Steve |

I like the snakewood too; and the rest of the guitar as well. I think what Steve says is right. I saw 3 pieces of 1/4" X 3" snakewood at Woodcraft one day. It looked great. But it was all bent, and had checks, and splits. I couldn't even find enough solid for a fingerboard. I was careful with thin rosewood tubes I turned for the decoration on some guitar pegs; after one just disintegrated in my hand. The Rubner tuners look very nice. The shape on the knobs is very different; reminds me of a violin or cello bridge. Being snakewood helps even more to bringing everything together. |

This style of knobs are usually used on Classical guitar tuners. Rubner started out making classical tuners,so they adapted them to steel string tuners. |

Awesome work! This is the kind of thing that makes me want to try again. I probably will never reach this level of excellence but I can try. |
