Default My 2nd Build - Concert Jumbo w/Wedge

I finished the build last summer, and finally got it finished strung and the setup done this fall. I've played through two sets of strings, and its still in one piece! =)

I owe a big thanks to Rick Davis of Running Dog guitars in Seattle for lots of help, and to the entire crew at Healdsburg. It's a great place for a newbie builder to get great inspiration. =)

Here's the details

Body Style: Running Dog Concert Jumbo w/ Manzer Wedge (used Rick's templates)
Back/Sides: EIR
Top: Sitka with a little figure
Neck: Mahogany with EIR/Fiber Lams and CF Reinforcements
Fretboard: Ebony
Bridge: Ebony
Rosette: EIR/Zipflex/Maple & Black Fiber
Binding/Heel cap: Kurly Koa
Purfling: Zipflex w/Maple and Black Fiber
Inlay: MOP

I've been remiss about getting photos online. Here there are. =)











I'll post some in-progress build pictures (or at least a link to them) once I get them edited and uploaded.

Wowie - that's nice! If it plays one half as nice as it looks you did a real nice job. Congrats!

Congrats on an exceptionally looking instrument! If it plays as good as it looks (which I am 100% sure it does) then you have a superb musical instrument!

What is the finish on it? It looks so spotless!
