McNally: Madagascar Rosewood/ Redwood Parlor
Hi All,
I havent posted on here in a while, thought i would share some photos of the latest guitar I'm starting. A Madagascar Rosewood/Redwood parlor which is for a friend. So far, we're thinking: -Ebony Bindings, with a fine line koa purfling and rosette on the soundboard -12 Fret body join -Slotted headstock, faced in Mad RW, bound with ebony -Mad RW bridge with ebony pins -Mahogany neck, possibly with a simple fine line lamination -Ebony fingerboard, might have a custom inlay too. Just at plate jointing stage now, but will likely be bending the sides this week sometime. Best, Ciaran |

Did you consider a MRW fingerboard instead of Ebony? What was the deciding factor?

Looking forward to following this thread as the build progresses!! Ciarin, didn't you have a neat 12 string posted on the forum about a year or so ago? Love your work.

Happy new year Ciaran, guitar looks good, very like the shape of my parlour. Will it have a soundport?

And to you Malcolm! Yes, its the same mould as your Parlor, although no sound-port on this one.
