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. |

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!
