Two Birds Budgie Build 2024
Hi All,
I was in the market for a parlor sized guitar and commisioned a build from Two Birds Guitarworks. They are out of Cicero, IN and I had been following thier work on instagram for a while. I've had a quite a few conversations with Christian and its exciting to see the build now starting to materialize. I wanted to share some of the pictures with you all. I hope you enjoy! Italian Spruce Top Birdseye Maple B/S Custom Inlay Design for Back Inlay in Back Black over Silver Rosette More to come!

Glad to see your Two Birds parlor build thread here. I've been following their work on Instagram. Looking forward to following a start to finish project here from their shop here.

Went with Bolivian Ebony for the binding/fretboard/head plate. I’m excited to see the maple under finish!

Any one have any thoughts on small body maple b/s guitars? I’ve always loved the clear treble notes on the high frets!
I’ve seen it used on a lot of classical guitars and love the sound there too.

I've gravitated towards small body guitars and maple b/s for sure! I'll always have my B&W Ebony S Kinnaird 00 12 fret, but the rest of the stable will soon be maple...I always thought I would have a selection of different woods and African Blackwood has always been one of my favorites, but now as I have gravitated towards Parlor size acoustics and Torres classicals, I find maple has taken over!!

It’s fun to see all the incredible maple builds being highlighted on the forum currently!
I defiantly agree with you @canuk7. I really enjoy the small body maple sound for the Celtic lament/airs I play. I’m excited to see your GR Bear and Angel Step builds come together. Quick update on Budgie build. Everything’s moving along. The Bolivian Ebony appointments are complete. The feather Burl for the headstock came out awesome!
