#11 - Tassie Blackwood/Sinker Redwood GA
This marks Guitar # 11 for me. The woods (apart from the top and inlay woods) was purchased back in 2007 from an OLF auction to help out our Friend Kevin Gallagher (rip). Here are the details:
Top - Sinker Redwood Back & Sides - Flamed Tasmanian Blackwood Neck - Tasmanian Blackwood with lacewood and red laminates Fretboard - Mulga a desert hardwood bound in tiger myrtle with red purfling Bridge - Minnerichi Binding & headplate - Tiger Myrtle Top purfling - Lacewood with red accents Inlay wood - pear burl The rosette is based off Jason Kostal's stained glass design. I really like this look and will certainly use it again. Finish is nitro lacquer. Thanks for looking. This is the owner signature.

It's gorgeous, Rod. I love the details with color, and the red in the rosette glows.

Nice one Rod, as Stephen K said "There are some great woods, down under!" Certainly if one of the voices in my head said that was not beautiful the other one would definitely tell me to shut the hell up.
Jim Edit, I have just turned the first sod on my number 11 as well so congratulations on getting past the ten. |

Gorgeous! Are you selling that?
The only thing I don't like about the looks of it is the Florentine cutaway. |

Wow! That's a beauty!
I'm a big fan of Tasmanian Blackwood. I like the idea of combining it w/ the Sinker Redwood. Very nice selection of woods for the edge binding too. What is the signature on the fretboard? (never mind..I just saw the caption on the photo) Does it sound as good as it looks?

And that's ok about the cutaway. Not everyone likes the fabulous florentine, which is good, that way the guys who build venetian cutaways can sell some too

Just found this thread - nice to see the Aussie woods Rod.
Can you post a pick of the headstock? Col Edit - don't know how the unhappy purple dude got into my post |

Thanks folks.
Sure Colin, here you go. My wife wasn't happy with any of the pictures she took of the headstock (she's a perfectionist with her photos) so I took one with my iphone
