Default NEW BROOK TAMAR BUILD

At the end of last summer my wife persuaded me to retire. I had been thinking about having a guitar built to celebrate and reward myself for quite some time. I had several conversations about this idea with Simon at Brook guitars and we began to finalize the details this past fall. The build officially commenced in late January. It will be a 12fret, Tamar with Koa back and sides and a Sitka top with a scale length of 25.5”. The fretboard, bridge, and headstock will be made from African Blackwood and the neck is made from a gorgeous hunk of African Padauk. An idea I borrowed from our very own TomB’sox and his recent Tirga Mohr made by Rory Dowling.
I have some special inlays designed for the headstock and fretboard which I’ll share as the build progresses. Needless to say they are off to a good start.
