Here's one that's in the Z-poxy filler stage. I hope to post when it's finished. Also in the shop, is an EIRW dred that my apprentice is doing. Hopefully he'll post his. He's taken a few pix at 5.3 Megpix. It's busier in the shop than usual for the summer...

Grand Concert size Grenadillo B & S from LMI, Zootman Coco bindings, end graft, heel cap, and probably headstock cap. Engelman top & bracing. w/b/w binding purflings, b/w/b top puflings, herringbone rosette, Mahogany neck, probably ebony fingerboard. Probably simple inlays. I'll see if Bruce is donating the K & K pickups. Ya out there Bruce? :)

When finished with KTM-9, I'll post a few pix of the whole building process.

Terry,

Looks great! And, I know that Granadillo taps like good Rosewoods - very bright with tons of sustain. Another great yet underutilized wood!

It seems underutilized in the US...It was reasonably priced, so I bought 2 sister sets. Thinking bout doing a twin, except different top & maybe trim, just to experiment. Otherwise maybe an SJ. I bought some nice wood at ASIA, I think I'll build a bunch with the cheaper stuff and then break out the good stuff. (If I can be that self-controlled..) I am getting anxious to build the next bunch of guitars!

Armadillo. HA HA! It took me weeks to remember the name of this wood, and now I'll have to relearn it. Terry Stowell38594.6132638889

Terry,
Nice work. Is the Grenadillo tough to bend?

I sanded to .080 (I think) and bent in the bender and ran it through 2 or 3 cycles. I thought it went okay

Well, Bob the Zootman has promised to sell me a set of his Armadillo wood one of these days, if he decides to part with it at all. I'll have to get me a set! Of course he may have sold it all already....

That combination of binding and body wood looks wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great Bob & Don! (I thought you were joking Don!) Do you like the sapwood? Can either of you post some pix? Just haven't seen much of this wood anywhere...Same with Palo Escrito. (Do ya have a nickname for that one?)

Thanks guys!
