Simple 000 for woodstock
 
Pardon my clogging the bandwidth but ive just finished my Woodstock builds and want to post em. Seems like getting guitars out the door is similar to catchup in a bottle (to quote Ogden Nash) first none will come and then a lottle.:)

So here it is, brazilian rw with a master grade adirondack top from Old Standard.
If you can guess the binding you win the usual prize, a bucket of lard. Brother Steve and Ryan you cannot play.

Somehow it seemed hard to get a good shot of the peghead until i took it out of the workshop. So here it is.

Classy looking guitar John with some beautiful BRW!!! Well Koa would be too easy of guess so I am going to say it is Australian Blackwood????

That sure is a purdy thang! Love that Brazilian bridge...Can't wait to get my hands on this one!

Thank you guys.

Neither koa nor blackwood. Here is a clue p, this tree has blood red sap and was thought to be a cure for black water fever.

Not cinchona. This wood is fire retardant and like cinchona is believed to prevent malaria and increase breast milk production

TomB'sox 10-15-2017 05:18 PM
So I name a wood that cures the disease you list and yet I still don't win a tub of lard!!!!!!! I call foul!!!!

It looks lovely, John! The simplicity just brings out the craftsmanship, the fingerboard & peghead inlays, and that stunning rosette all the more.

Beeswing Narra?
Though I don't know if it cures blackwater fever.

*blast, looks like I was too long in typing and you beat me to Narra :)

I will just say LOVELY! Oh my goodness!!
