Now thats a nice piece of eye candy... especially that light banding holding all that red together. Make me one like that next time you in the shop. Blessings the Padma |

Hi all, and thanks for the kudos. Quote: Make me one like that next time you in the shop. I hear ya Padma, I'll put you on the list right behind me, should be 20 years or so  Quote: The finish looks stunning indeed...Is that binding Curly Maple? Joe White finished the guitar, it is curly maple binding. Quote: Upper & lower upper-bout ports...hmm... shag rug or hardwood flooring make for a different sound!?.Seems to me projection towards headstock might really gain as they look to be slightly forward? Ah, a little experiment I did with a dummy guitar led me to use dual ports in these locations..YMMV Quote: Top cylindrical arched rather than domed or is it my eyes being goofy? Not cylindrical, though I'm looking into it..... I use unusual arching to accommodate the elevated fretboard, just seems to work for me. Quote: I have to admit Wanting to know/see all the details. I understand, though I've got to keep some things secret  Quote: solid or kerfed liners Kerfed, though I'm going to solid soon. Quote: neck construction and attach.. Bolt on, elevated fretboard Quote: side depth Approximately 4 5/8 tail block & 3 5/8 neck block Quote: Sound Hole Size 4" Quote: Port Size Not sure, I've got it set on my computer, just print it and cut now Quote: Top bracing Ah, now see we arrived at a secret again  ,Lots of experimentation, I've gone my own direction here, no big deal but it is different than traditional bracing

Quote: what wood did you put on the back of the head stock? Cocobolo front & back of headstock, a couple of cool pieces I collected for a guitar like this. Quote: I noticed you were trying to flash your gang sign in the last picture. I dont know if this is the right forum for that. Yeah, I saw that reflection before I posted it, thought what the heck I'll show the secret luthiers handshake, now everyone knows. Greg |

Very nice, Greg. I think your wide maple (?) bands in the rosette are perfect compliments to the maple binding. Simple touch that ties things together nicely. Steve |

Very nice Greg, the sinker/coco combination works great together as does the figured maple binding.
