As everyone knows the name originally was the Chairity Guitar. That was changed when it became a Gift Guitar and is now the OLF Guitar Project #2.

A couple questions? 1) Ebony bridge? I only ask because I am supplying the pins. Any preference on the type of pins? I have lots of different types of gurian wood pins and a few sets of bone. 2) I presume you don't need an end pin since it has a pick up. 3) What is the back and side wood (I can't really tell from the pics)? 4) Any preference regarding the species of binding we use? I don't see that spec'd. |

Hi Brock, those notations were abstracted out of the Charity guitar posts from months ago. End Pin, you are right, unless of course Don already gave away that K and K? Ebony pins on ebony bridge looks good. Really it's a choice thing, your choice. Binding specs, hmmmmm, Michael might direct us there because I don't have that information. I was told by someone that it would have French style purfs which are bwb with the black both larger than the white lines. I suppose the degree of difficulty on the purfling top or sides would be up to you as well. Back and side wood appears to be figured mahogany. Zootman Bob was noted as supplier on the binding, you might ask him? Great, this is exactly the type of conversation we need. |

Ok. When I see it I will figure it out. But here is what I am thinking at the moment. Binding = BRW or Cocobolo (depending on color) End graft = Chevron cut and joined to match binding Top purflings = mahog-o-lam (or possibly snake-o-lam) Side purfs = fine line bwb mitered around the end graft. How does that sound? |

Stop the presses... sounds like the fb and headstock are bound in bloodwood. So the body will do the same... |

Cool. Well if we are going with bloodwood binding, I think the original purf scheme sounds great. |

Where do these French Purflings come from? I looked at LMI and they seem to have all layers the same. Michael P., where do we get these? |

[QUOTE=clavin] board are ebony. Were they sent out yet? Craig [/QUOTE] Craig, do you want to inlay before attaching the headplate and fingerboard this time? We could get it to you quicker that way? What do you think? Michael P is that possible? |
