Default Tyler Robbins R1. CA Euro/Malaysian BW : Fine Luthiers

Hi, Folks

We’re so excited to hear from Tyler this build is officially in progress [emoji4]

Since this one is a showcase guitar for Folks in Asia, we wanted Tyler to unleash his creativity on this R1 model as a canvas! The specs we decided were very minimal as follows;

Spec

Body - R1 with Florentine Cutaway+Arm Bevel
Top - Premium Euro Spruce
B/S - Malaysian Blackwood
Rosette - Unknown
Backstrip - Unknown
End Wedge - Unknown
Top Purfling - Unknown
B&S Purfling - Unknown
Binding - Unknown
Neck - Mahogany
Heelcap - Unknown
Headstock front veneer - Unknown
Headstock back veneer - Unknown
Truss rod Cover - Unknown
Fretboard - Unknown
Bridge - Unknown
Frets - EVO Gold frets

Beginning with the joined Top & Back~


Tyler uses his scientific method to grade tops, and this Euro is the highest quality in his stash.


The back looks very dramatic with the figure and the sapwood in the mid!


Looking forward to seeing more!

Cheers,

Alan
