It’s with great pleasure that we get to share with you a new build for Daveac. Dave has been a friend of ours for several years after he picked up a Adi/Honduran OM of ours secondhand. This started a connection that included several visits to our shop in Nacogdoches and a fun build of a Port Orford Cedar/ Ziricote SJ. He has decided to add a smaller body guitar to the lineup. During a summertime visit to select wood, he spied a set of Madagascar Rosewood that had been claimed by another good customer of ours. Unfortunately, after some health problems that customer had to back out of the build, but fortunately for Dave, he knew it would be the perfect back and sides for this 00. All it took was for the right Sinker Redwood to be paired with it, and we’re off to the races.
I’m sure Dave will stop by to share some of his insight into the build, but we couldn’t be more excited to get to play a part in what will definitely be a killer combination of looks and tone. Dave has done a great job of designing it. Now watch along as it comes together.
