Official Luthiers Forum!

This is a model 00C with Ziricote back & sides. The soundboard is West Virginian Red Spruce (Adirondack) from our field trip to Appalachian Tonewood.

The bridge, fretboard and binding are all ebony. The tuners are Gotoh mini 510 with ziricote buttons made by Charis acoustic.

The finish on the body is UV cured polyester and the neck is finished with Osmo PolyX.

I’ll share demo recordings next week when it gets back from the studio.

Any questions let me know.

Hello Brad,
I am not surprised by this guitar . It is like everything you showed us:
wonderful tonewoods, excelent craftsmanship (in my opinion you are a real artist in guitarbuilding!), everyone can see your love and passion for lutherie!
Thank you for sharing that! I'm happy every time I can have a look on your wonderful work, and that motivates me to improve my skills to reach your level one day in the future.
Waiting for how it sounds!

A real stunner Brad this is one beautiful guitar. I love sapwood too since that's what the tree actually looks like so a double WOW on this one.

Beautiful! I look forward to seeing/hearing it in action.

I like the simplicity, and that isn't easy to pull off. Adding the little white line around the sides and the bottom join isn't expected.

Beautiful work Brad, and god I love that ziri!

I've got some for future acoustic builds and have a couple electrics in the lineup I'm considering some ziri drop tops for for them.

Nice one Brad, looking forward to the video.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Stunning instrument Brad!

Sounds great in both videos. Well done. Also, that's a nice touch having the two cameras.

Sounds fabulous, lots of punch, rich sounds.
Even with my pretty poor computer speakers I can hear sustain and balance, harmonics ringing out and, well, you get the picture...
Doesn't only look great, quality sound too.
Knocked this one out of the park Brad.

Brad, it is a wonderful guitar! Great sounding, warm, balanced, rich tone. For that small shape enormous bass and volume, and with clear but warm sounding terbles. I like it very much!

Sounds great!

Brad—

Absolutely fantastic sounding guitar! As before, the combo of the ribbon mic on the lower bout, and the small diaphragm condenser on the upper bout, is a great fit.

It sounds great in both videos, but I am particularly impressed with how rich it sounds in the dropped tuning in the finger style video.

Much to be proud of!

Count me in with everyone else, sounds great - balance, tone, volume and range all working together.

Excellent recording vids too.

I thought that the drone "E" sounded rich and low! No perfect pitch here. I know where they should be, but not their names, or the step, or anything else.

I write a lot, but I have no clue about grammar. Same sort of thing.
