Default New McKnight Build - "The Dominator"

Introducing a build by Tim McKnight. It is for my grandson, Dominic. I plan to spend a few years breaking it in before giving it to him since he's only 12.

Details:
  • MacNaught Dreadnought
  • Adirondack top
  • Brazilian rosewood back and sides
  • Mother of Pearl purfling
  • Curly walnut binding
  • Honduran Mahogany neck
  • Tortis pickguard ("The Dominator" carved into the pickguard)
  • Gotoh gold open-back tuners
  • varnish finish

Tim started on January 3 with planned delivery at McJam 11 (June 2018). Here are some pics of the startup (taken by Mary McKnight). I hope the pics work:

Hoping the pics work! More to come as Mary sends them to me.
