Custom Ziricote/Sinker Redwood by Thomas Taylor (Solid Rock Guitar Co)
Hey there. Thread title is self explanatory. Just thought I would document with photos as we go along. I think Im going to go for loud and stealthy looking. The Ziricote is a nice back and side set and the sinker is very good looking. Going to go most of the rest of the way with ebony. Binding, fretboard, etc.
Some initial photos... http://www.flickr.com/photos/1182587...n/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/1182587...n/photostream/ SEE POSTS 19 & 20 FOR EMBEDDED PHOTOS!!!! Last edited by 3 Rings; 03-17-2014 at 09:53 AM. Reason: So you don't have to click individual pictures!! |

Thanks for sharing. It'll be nice to see this come together. I love Sinker, and that Ziricote looks really nice.

Hi Scott, I got the back braced today. Also the top is fitted to the rim. Its looking more like a guitar all the time. I can't wait to hear the Ziricote and Redwood combo- it should be awesome. I'll get some pics to you tomorrow.

sound
While it looks great, I think you'll find it is a great sounding wood combination as well. I have a redwood/zirc OM that is wonderfully rich, responsive and resonant. Looking forward to following this thread, and seeing/hearing the final outcome.

progress
Scott, I have glued on the back with e part epoxy- The ziricote seems a bit oily like cocobolo and Osage thought we.d better not take any chances.
I should be able to flush up the edges and get the tail wedge in. I'll get more photos to you soon
