I am just doing final clean-up on the first of the four show spec guitars I am working on. I should have this ready to ship to the finisher next week.
This is my Piña parlor model with a 14" lower bout.
Here are some specs:
Top- Old growth curly Redwood
Back and side- Figured Claro Walnut
Neck- 1850 Black Walnut laminated with maple and cross grained BRW
Open headstock with Schertler tuners
Beveled florentine cutaway
Short scale 24.75"
Fretboard- BRW 16" radius
Bone nut and saddle with 1 3/4" nut and 2 1/4" space at saddle
Binding, headplate, end cap, and end graft- African Blackwood
Purfling- Cross grained Zebrawood
Rosette- Bloodwood w/cross grained Zebrawood borders
Abalone- 12th fret marker and headstock inlays
The inlays are stylized music notation figures done in green abalone
I'm lookin forward to seeing all this figure under finish
This next picture shows the bevel I put into the florentine cutaway:
You can also see the bevel in the African Blackwood next to the heel of the neck. This creates a recess for the strap button. I've done this on several previous guitars. It's a great place to get that button out of the way yet it is still easily accessible with a secure hold to the strap.
Here is a finished picture of the one I did on Graham Maby's bass guitar:
Thanks for viewing!
