This is the last of the three I'm taking to Healdsburg. I wanted to bring a little something different, so I decided to build a 13 fret in fiddleback mahogany (thanks, Don Williams). Adi top with ziricote bindings with a splash of abalone thrown in. It's going to get a Gibsonesque tobacco sunburst and gold Waverlies with ebony buttons. I'll post some more pics when it's done. Thanks for looking.

Tony, [QUOTE=TonyKarol] very nice .... you do your own bursts ???[/QUOTE] I'm back to doing all my own finishes except bursts. Tony Ferguson is doing this one for me and I'm looking forward to working with him. He seems to really know his stuff. |

Looks like it would be a perfect fit in your lap. One of those you could play for a long time. The woods look great together. |

I wish that it would be easier and cheaper to do that (leave the finishing to someone else, its a pain) from Canada .. the border just complicates things ... |
