I really like elevated fretboards - looking forward to seeing this one. The sapwood along the centre of the back looks great!

Thanks for posting Fred, and I echo Geoff’s compliments about that lovely set of back wood.
Looks like a deep body, or are my eyes deceiving me? And is that a shoulder bevel going in? It would make for a very comfortable little guitar. Does the voicing of the top change at all when there is a bevel taking up some of the lower bout? Col |

This guitar is based on a prototype 13 fret 00 in bubinga and Sitka I created a few years back. I felt that this guitar style would be a great platform to try the elevated fret board concept on. My buddy Paul Murphy played this guitar at his studio in Northville MI when it was quite new. Recorded with my Android phone using it's built in mic.

I have had slow progress on the guitar as I have been level sanding, buffing and now final assembling a couple other projects. My shop time have also been limited the last week as my wife had a shoulder replacement so needs a lot of help and care.
The top and back are braces and voiced so decided a few progress photos could be posted. Thanks for looking any comments are appreciated Fred |
