Ray had a more classic looking set that I really couldn't pass and he kindly accepted to switch gears at the very last minute. Here's the set that won me over -- build pictures to come soon. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut3.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut4.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut5.jpg |
I'm not sure why they don't display on this page as I have no problem opening them in a new tab...but man, that is one gorgeous set of BRW. Looking forward to this thread!
|
looks great! congrats! :)
|
BRW...as in Brazilian Rosewood? If so, that's some serious, investment grade wood you got there!
|
Holy Mother of Wood! That set is spectacular! I'm really looking forward to this thread as Ray is at the top of my list when the time comes. I hope for many frequent updates!

Ray is having an open-house this Sunday, if anyone is in the Eugene-area.
Joe, I may ask Ray to pull out that set, but I promise I won't get any drool on it. That is the good-stuff! I have a hankerin' for a BRW-built guitar, but I've been avoiding woods that might cause a problem for me at a border-crossing. I'll just enjoy the thought of *your* guitar being built! |

If Ray finishes the guitar early, you could spend a few days with it if you'd like. Euro spruce top, fan fret, no cutaway... |
That is easily one of the nicest Brazilian RW sets I have ever seen -- quality like that is so very hard to find now. Congratulations!!!
|
Yes, Ray has some absolutely outstanding sets of BRW! To some, a set such as this or the one I selected may be boring...but, to me, they are simply divine! Congratulations!
|
WOW! That looks the set from a SCGC 1934 D I had.... best there is! Exciting! Cant wait to see this come together!

Thanks for your words of encouragement, guys.
The biggest departure for me will be the multi-scale. I can't wait to play one and feel the difference for myself. Unlike my upcoming Olson and Leach (which will both feature too many inlays on the fingerboard), I asked Ray to keep the board clean and the inlay work will mostly go on the body -- custom rosette + custom inlays TBD. |
wow what a set of wood Joe!!
If this one looks this good now, I can only imagine what is will look like on a guitar under finish! Spectacular!! and all the best for the build. best, Keyshore |
It's like melted Godiva chocolate!! Gonna be gorgeous!

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. Makes me feel somewhat better about spending my money... ;)
Here are more pics I just received from Ray: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut7.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut8.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut9.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut10.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut11.jpg |
Hi Joe,
Wow, that is going to be some guitar! I'm looking forward to seeing how it takes shape! - Glenn |
Looking good... I myself is waiting for my Kraut Mod D 12 fret (euro/Braz) due late this year:)
|
That's a really nice set of BRW! Like many of the others, I can't wait to see how this turns out and how it sounds!
|
I saw this set "up close" this past weekend at Ray's barbeque...it's even more stunning in person! Congratulations!

I saw it too...it's great! |
I can't wait to hit my first chord on this guitar...

Any updates?

Sorry I've been swamped with work for the past little while.
The back will be glued on this week. In the interim, here are pictures of the rosette. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut20.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut21.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut22.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut23.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut24.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73365238/kraut25.jpg |
Great shots! Thanks for sharing.

I love the rosette! ;) |
Congrats Joe, to you and Ray on a spectacular creation. Love everything about it so far. Really special. I'm sure the hearing will blow us all away.

I'm really happy so far. I'll make an effort to produce a quality recording with it. I should have my hands on the guitar in just about a month. |
