Default McKnight all-walnut 00-12 fret build

You should be able to follow this link occasionally to see all the pics that Mary is uploading for my latest McKnight build

https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...Fxb3pKcUNSTGl3

This is his Deacon body (a 00-size), 12-frets to the body, 24.75" scale, 1-13/16 nut width, deep-body, made of walnut from the 1700's and local to his shop just north of Columbus, OH.

I had a guitar made of this wood for back/sides and LS redwood top about a decade ago. At the time I commented that Tim should build me one out of all walnut . . he wasn't at all interested then (something about tops shouldn't be made of hardwood? )

But now he's changed his mind, and must've remembered me asking for a guitar out of this stash of special wood, so now one is being built for me!
