so beautiful!
Indian Redwood is Chukrasia Tabularis: Curly Gmelina is Gmelina Arborea: Spalted Tamarind is Tamarindus Indica: Flamed Ebony is an Indian Ebony: All these are local woods in India except for the Euro Maple

I would go with the Indian Redwood (as it should be mahogany-like, yes?) and the flamed Ebony. Both should be gorgeous, I would think.

Karan says the Indian Redwood is very similar to Koa in density and properties. I'm really liking the Ghamar

All gorgeous. But the spalted tamarind really blows my mind - I love the idea of a guitar that looks like it's built from marble!

I love that spalted tamarind too! But the figure on the Ghmelina is too pretty

Yup - that's also killer. Definitely my two favourites! Looking forward to getting my hands on Amrit's Bigfoot at some point in the hopefully not too far distant...!

Dustin has a great touch! I'll try to get some other videos up, but I'm always battling an infant and a toddler (and usually they win!). Hard to find that quiet time!

and with Bob Taylor! Some more wood candy for your eyes! This one is Spalted Tamarind which will be for Amrit Sond! Can't wait for this one!

Karan will be at the Quebec Guitar Show next week if anyone is around to check out his guitars.
I also hear he is sharing a table with Benjamin Paldacci!

What I love about Karan is his incredible work ethic and his ambition to not only better himself in his craft, but also to strive to learn to do things better. When he was at Music China, he had dealer comment on his finish. Not that it was bad, but if he could improve it in certain areas, the guitar would certainly stand above many others. His build quality is great and his tone with his new Mod D body is extremely pleasing.
What did Karan do? He decided to fly to Canada to learn more! Since he was flying to Canada for the Quebec show, he tag teamed that with a guitar finish class with Michel Pellerin! Pellerin used to head the finishing department with Godin. If you've seem any of Michel's work, you know that he is a perfectionist and does an impeccable job with guitar finish. He'll spend two weeks with Michel learning and perfecting his finish technique! Here are some pics from the Pellerin shop! Francois (worked with michel for 17 years!) looking at wood Michel working his magic Sanding down old finish Some more pics!
