Default Walnut/Cedar 00. Final shots

I’m having real trouble getting the color right on the top of this guitar. The first shot is the best approximation of the top color. The back sides and neck and peghead are good color wise. There is too much red in most of the other top pics.

This one is headed to LaConner and/or BIG

That’s a beauty, John! I really like the continuity of the burl where you used it, and the rest of the wood is stellar. Your usual fine craftsmanship makes it all shine.very nice!

Beautiful guitar John…. Sunbursts are notoriously difficult to capture in photographs…

Thanks Carpinteria. I really like that you like the continuity of the burl. That’s one of those risky design elements that I hope “fly”

Thanks 7v7IM7. It’s good to hear that I’m not the only person having trouble photographing bursts. Any pointers? I’m guessing lighting has a lot to do with getting the color right.

Smile Oooohhhh….

What a beautiful instrument! Again…

I must say, the beautiful flamed maple binding makes me glad I’ve got the same coming on my new one from you.

And it’s a 12 fret guitar, so hooray for that!

This is so pretty it may not make it to any of the shows. Ha ha ha

Way to go

Paul.

Many highlights to appreciate on this guitar, but I think the maple bevel and bindings are the top for me! Yes, I wish you the best John, but I hope this comes to B.I.G.

Thanks Paul. I think your maple will turn out as nicely.

Smile Incredible Walnut!

Thought it was Koa.

Walnut & cedar or even redwood should be great.

Stunning details.

Hey, hey good lookin'! That's a beauty.

I have found "head on" yields the best color results on bursts.

If she shows up at B.I.G. I'll definitely give her a try.
