Default Chocolate mango for woodstock

Chocolate mango, cedar top, braz binding. Floating fingerboard extension with carbon fiber brace rods to free up the top from any support duties. Lattice braced back to help improve the taptone of the punks mango ( it worked surpringly well)

I don't think the town nor the townsfolk have changed a lot since that time either!!! Just a little grayer.

Smile Another BEAUTY

Glad to see another with the elevated FB extension and the CF struts! Yay

And that top looks familiar...

Have FUN in Woodstock but don't eat the Brown acid. (Old joke!)

Cheers

Paul

Thanks Paul
Hopefully what goes to Woodstock stays in Woodstock. To paraphrase a Vegas quip.

I intended to write punky mango because the tap tone is really dead. But with lattice bracing capped with rosewood strips the taptone really improved. Its more like a good hard koa or mahogany braced normally.

That's a beauty John. Wood looks familiar. Steve built me a mango guitar, it was a beauty, got snatched up by a local dealer. This wood is even prettier; bet it sounds great with the cedar top!

John - Curious, what would drive you to use wood which, despite being really pretty, is dead-ish...?

OK, I read a few posts above so see you had a formula in mind. Were you keeping your fingers crossed a bit or pretty confident in the outcome on this one....Robert

I felt pretty confident, my plan was to work with the guitar back until ittapped out nicely and then procede with the build. I really enjoy using nontraditional woods, especially if they are pretty

I agree bro. On the other hand it is a family reunion with the potential to make a little money,
