Default New Cocobolo/Lutz Spruce Build
Here is another one I'm building alongside a few others in the shop, I liked the Cocobolo so I figured why not share a few pics






Cheers,
Greg

+1 on that Coco, Greg.
Pretty stuff--and under finish that will be gorgeous.

Thanks guys...Hey Woody, I've been lucky so far, no reaction to Cocobolo, I do take great care not to breath the dust, hopefully I can continue to use it as I love the stuff.

Greg

Very nice Greg!

I didn't know you were building your backs without bracing now.

Hey Hen, good eye....This is the 2nd guitar I've used the A4 on, it is more expensive, but boy is it easy to use. It is also beautiful and smells great too.

The coco was too pretty to cover up with those silly braces. Who needs 'em anyway??

Here is this one with the back braced and glued on to the rim, as well as the carbon fiber epoxied in.
