Here is a build thread for my new
Tahoe Guitars 000-12 in flamed Big Leaf Maple and Lutz Spruce. It will have a five-piece maple/walnut/maple neck with a paddle head, flamed Claro Walnut binding and trim, and Macassar Ebony fretboard and pyramid bridge.
The idea here is to make a "NorWester" guitar. Much of the wood, including the Sitka bracing, are west coast species.
The raw materials are pictured below. Construction should begin in the next couple weeks.
Scale: 25.4"
Nut: 1 3/4"
Saddle: 2 1/4"
Body Depth: 4 3/8"
The Top:
Lutz Spruce, beautiful silking, a touch of bearclaw, robust tap tone.
Back and Sides:
Classic tight flame Big Leaf Maple.
The Claro Walnut trim pieces:
The Neck:
The Flame Big Leaf Maple neck with the walnut and hard maple inner lams.
