New Freeborn Model For Healdsburg
Brand spankin' new model will make it's debut at this years HGF.
The Quatre Petit:    Based on my Quatre model (0000) I sleeve the mold to "shrink" the body to a 15" lower bout. 13 frets clear, and my new "tweener" scale length of 25.2". This prototype is all Maple, with a Lutz top, Massaranduba fingerboard and bridge and our Pearl Beauguard. See you all next week. -C

Cool stuff, Charles! You moved away from your half 'n half peghead?
(Or is that head model-specific?) And what are the bindings on this guitar? Sorry for all the questions, Steve

Hi Steve,
This one is a prototype, so to keep it as time efficient as possible I built it with a regular headstock rather than my hybrid design. I'm considering making the hybrid style an option on the symmetrical bodied guitars as a cost control measure. Binding is our Pearl Beauguard which my wife Cheryl makes. It's backed up with cream/black Leathertone plastic laminate (PVC I think) with the cream face towards the binding and the black against the body, which gives it a nice little black pinstrip. See you next weekend! -C
