I havent had too much chance to post lately the new stuff I have been doing in the shop - I need a vacation
- I created this body shape last year, and had made only one previously, an EI rw baritone. So here is the first using the shape for a std six string - well OK, its not exactly std - its a multiscale, 25.5 to 26.5, Florentine cutaway, with Laskin armrest and ribrest in curly balck walnut. The top is Adirondack, back and sides are Madagascar rw, the rosette designed by the client is thuya burl, ziricote, red ab dots, and blk/orange lines. The headplates are four piece bookmatched braz rw, and are also flitch matched front and back. The neck is honduran, ebony FB, gold/ebonoid Gotoh 510s. The binding is also mad rw, purfling is orange/blk/orange (yep, its an orange theme here) the end graft, and cutaway corners are braz. Bridge is braz too, 3/16 bone saddle. I think thats about it, and as Hesh likes to say - "Thanks for looking in". Enjoy the view ...
