Talking McNally OM's - Euro/Walunt & Sitka/Santos

Hi all,
It's been while since I've posted some photos of my builds here so I felt like it was overdue.
I'm about to start finishing this Euro Spruce/ Euro Walnut OM which is a commission for a customer in London.

I tend to build two guitars at a time these days, mostly so I can lacquer them together, so I thought I would included the photos of this guitar too. Interestingly it has Santos Rosewood (Pau Ferro) back and sides, which is a good alternative to Indian Rosewood given the new Cites restrictions.

This is the first time I have built with it so I'm very keen to see and hear the final result on this one. It is a bit heavier than Indian rosewood. The box has quite strong tap tone. I think it will have a brighter more projecting tone that the Euro Spruce/ Walnut, which is incredibly light even with the neck attached! Very encouraging as the customer favours a warm tone with good sustain.
The walnut guitar will also have Santos RW fingerboard and bridge.

Lacquering 'pop' photos soon!

Thanks for looking!
Ciaran

Thanks,

Locations needs changed...
I’m from Armagh but I moved to Canterbury in England this year, where I took a job as Production Manager for Atkin Guitars.
I make my own brand guitars in my spare time mostly for fun !
