My brand new Waanders Grand Concert Swiss/Brazilian Nylon Crossover (PICS AND VIDEO)
This may not be new to those of you who followed the build thread (http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=285507), but my Signature Series Waanders Nylon Crossover is finally done! It's a Grand Concert size 12 fret body with mastergrade Swiss Spruce top, 40 year old Mastergrade Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Koa bevel and bindings and with Kevin Ryan's permission, I designed my own version of a bevel with soundports.
The neck is a 5-piece of Brazilian Rosewood, Flamed maple and a macassar ebony center. The tuners are custom Graf classical tuners and the case is custom made for this guitar by Armitage! Here are the pictures and there is a link to more pictures and the Youtube video below. Oh and here's the tab I made for the song: http://familieassink.com/documents/L...tle%20Wing.pdf (right click - save as) Please let me know what you guys think!!

Stunning...
I can't see the bridge up close enough on my phone...could you do a standard tie of the strings? Are those ball end or just knots?

Thanks guys!
@Jeff Matz, I use very small beads and a knot in front of it. Looks cleaner and increases break-angle, and thus tone, but I have ordered a set of these to try: http://www.lucawaldner.com/eng/string-plates_eng.html

Looks beautiful Joost. So sorry you can't play steel string anymore, but I'm glad you found something you can play.

I'd kept up with this build and was waiting to see this one finished.
Such a fantastic design and a truly beautiful guitar! I hope it brings you hours of enjoyment... Just listened to the YouTube link...I love the sound!
