That's a beauty John. I've never seen a set that large. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Alan Carruth has used Persimmon for FB and bridges.

Personally, I think Guitars in the luthier profession are heading towards woods that we don't see often. That players and buyers find unique and different.
This particular set looks stunning.

Well alright then. I will do just that, and you can take it into that sound booth and have your way with it.

For some reason that back reminds me of Mango...or is it monkeypod? Either way, it’s beautiful!

Thanks Mike. I think you are right about it looking like mango. It has a much better tap tone than mango.

That is beautiful wood, John. I'm with you regarding domestic, sustainable woods. Walnut is probably the more common domestic wood that I get requests for. I'm building three guitars now and none fit that domestic and sustainable category.

Mighty "purty"
Beautiful wood and I like the cameo! I have no doubt it will sing equally beautifully by the time you are done with it...
I guess Maple would qualify as domestic and sustainable. I sure LOVE my Maple Round Peak !!! Have fun Paul

Round Peak
Quote:
The OVERLORD, my most recent, has a Manzer Wedge. It really feels like a huge Stratocaster. Nothing about it is uncomfortable at all! I intend to bring it to B.I.G. You will swoon... All have a flatter butt than a GS. but fit very well in a Taylor Grand Symphony case. Originally John's RP was an oversized 12 fret dread, but I asked John to pinch the waist a bit and we both liked it so much he has continued with the same shape. John, please correct me if I am wrong! This one here is devastatingly beautiful !!! Cheers Paul
