Many will think I've gone off the deep end before too long...you'll all know why soon...
But until then, let me introduce the next project that John and I will be collaborating on. One of the very cool things about visiting a builder's shop is certainly the general atmosphere of it. But...when you start digging into a wood pile that has been built over 40 years or so of building, sometimes you stumble onto hunks of wood that become very compelling. This is one of those. I saw this gorgeous piece of waterfall Bubinga around a year ago and told John to set it aside for me for a future build. So, the day to make this happen starts NOW
This guitar will be another 13 fret Om with a florentine cutaway. It will have an Englemann top which is really white with some gorgeous silking, and we'll trim it out with some bois d'rose, which is a deep maroon rosewood for the binding as well as probably the bridge and possibly even the fingerboard. No telling what other features this one may have, but I think and hope it will turn out pretty cool.
Here's a little sneak peek at the Bubinga...can you hear the waterfall??
