Default Peggy White Reesling build for TAMCO UK

I met Peggy when she came along with Linda Manzer for her Legendary Luthiers event in November. Peggy has been Linda's apprentice for several years now.

I am delighted to have this Reesling on order. Here are some build photos.

Love the back on this, c'mon Trevor you know we are dying to get more details - body shape, tone woods, frets, tuners, bindings, timing.....
Looking forward to seeing this one progress.

Its a Reesling model, 14" lower bout. I'm pretty much leaving Peggy to decide the rest so lets wait to hear from her.

that's one sweet looking guitar. Nice wood too.

Look forward to the tonal reviews.

Peggy, mighty fine work!

Trevor, you're sure having some outstanding guitars built for your UK clients.

Stuart

I'm obviously spending too much time in the shop! Apologies for my silence.

Back and sides are East Indian Rosewood, top is Adirondack Spruce. It's sounding like it's going to have beautiful resonance.
Binding is East Indian Rosewood.
Ebony fretboard, bridge and faceplate.
I will be using Gotoh 510 tuners as I do on all of my instruments.
This guitar has a 24.5" scale length, 13 fret neck joint with a 1.75" neck width at the nut and 2.1" bridge spacing.

This guitar will be arriving at Trevor's in early June.

Thanks for all of the comments!
