JamieJoon recorded a song with his brand new JB-15 (Myrtle/Adi) and I am going to attempt to load a link onto my page:

Nicely done, Jamie--sounds like you and this myrtle guitar have started a beautiful friendship. Congrats!

A Ringo Starr tune on a Sexauer? This I’ve got to hear. Wow Jamie, that was beautiful. Very nice playing also. When I hear people say a guitar is “piano like” this is the standard I’ll go to from now on.

Thanks guys. Recorded on my i-phone. The guitar sounds better in real life. The song is by Patty Griffin, "When It Don't Come Easy".

Short update on Lotus #3, my new JB-15. It is really rapidly developing with play and a few more days. At this point, I think it may be the best Sexauer I have ever played, certainly right up there with Bob's myrtle guitar in my opinion. It appears that it is going to be truly exceptional. Thanks Bruce!

Yesterday the top got bound and then the back as well.

The Pernambuco used on this guitar is about 5 degrees off quarter toward the center, and about 30 degrees off quarter toward the edge of the lower bout. Pretty spectacular for a tree that is said to rarely exceed 12" in diameter. This tree had to be at least 18" in diameter, a giant. I do have some P which is better quartered yet, the florescent red stuff I have shown at other times, but it is not nearly so pretty to my eye.
While I prefer quartered material generally speaking due to stability considerations, it appears more important in Pernambuco than on other woods I've used due to a marked tendency to crack if it is flat sawn. The binding is on and leveled. |

I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a Sexauer guitar recently. It's probably no surprise for anyone reading here that it's exceptional.
Here's a link to my NGD post: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=632164 Thanks Bruce for the incredible guitar! 20211028_102940 (Large).jpg Last edited by brianlcox; 11-23-2021 at 04:01 AM. |

I got the neck done over the week end, and will move into finish ASAP.
Pernambuco in BRW: This is an American Red Spruce over Pernambuco L00 inspired Sexauer being made for Barry Shipp, a return customer. This instrument has a promising response when tapped, either side! |
