That's a beautiful guitar, Fred. Your cocobolo selection and finish are really stunning. I dig the shape, too. I'm not crazy about bear claw figure in spruce, but that's a general statement and a personal preference--it's not aimed at your guitar. I think it's a real beauty! |

Thanks for the kind comments, this was a fun build other than the Bearclaw top finishing which needed sanding back and respray. The lacquer sunk into the softer areas between the harder claw marks and left an uneven surface. Fred |

Hey Fred, that is a sweet guitar. Great use of the sap wood on the back and I like the rounded shape. Your work just keeps getting better! |

I'm not usually a big fan of "sap-wood"…. But that is nothing short of stunning!!!!! A lovely, well executed instrument all round. sure would like to hear a sound clip or two. Congratulations!! Mike |
