Wren Guitar Works : Sitka / Madagascar MS-1 Build Thread
Hi folks ... time to bore you with yet another build thread! I've promised myself that I'll be spending more time at the bench and less on the computer, so this will be my last build thread for 2018! This one will be my take on a slope shouldered dreadnought ... my model "Modern Slope 1" or MS-1. Here's the specs and a couple of shots of the wood before I start the build process.
Model: MS-1 right handed Top Wood: Master Grade Sitka spruce Back & Sides: Madagascar Rosewood Binding: ebony Rosette: abalone Back Marquetry Strip: Interrupted Ebony Butt Marquetry: custom wedge Other Body Details: Laskin Armrest ... fade in and out Nut Width: 1 23/32" Neck Shape: Modified V Neck Inlay: Wren on 5th Peghead Shape: Taj Mahal Peghead Veneer: Madagascar Tuners: Waverly String Gauge: 12-53 Build Diary Book: yes

Never ever been bored by your build threads. Awesome selection of woods, especially that Madi. I look forward to seeing your take on a slope shoulder dred.

Thanks Kevin! I bought this Madagascar a decade and a half ago at an early Montreal Guitar Show from one of the Spanish wood suppliers (Madinter? Maderas Barber?).
