My new "0" size model (pics)
Hello all,
I wanted to share some pics of my new "0" size guitar. These are quick shots taken in the shop. This particular one is African Blackwood and Italian Spruce. I sprinkled spalted Maple here and there and used some pretty cool woods in the purfling and rosette...Dalmation wood, Briar wood, spalted Maple and Koa Binding. The fingerboard is Zircote and the bridge is Ebony, Zircote and Spalted Maple. This one was a lot of fun to build. I haven't decided on an official name for this model yet. I was thinking something along the lines of Chipmunk or Little Buckaroo...  I'm open to suggestions!

Gorgeous, in every way, the shape, the woods, the detailing, the list goes on.
Congratulations !!!

Tony, that little one just shines.
I have admired the voice and looks that "Colorado" parlor that you made many years ago in AB (perhaps your first Colorado?), and revisit the vids from time to time. Is this a "replicant" of that or a new design - or perhaps in between? In any event, it is a handsome piece of work. David

If you could find a way to drop the silent g from:
vignette /vĭn-yĕt′/ noun A decorative design placed at the beginning or end of a book or chapter of a book or along the border of a page. An unbordered picture, often a portrait, that shades off into the surrounding color at the edges. A short, usually descriptive literary sketch. Or Vinette? Or Vinesette?

I am grateful for all the comments so far. This is the smallest guitar I have made. It is 13 inches at the lower bout. I thought about naming her the Little Rascal.....

Tony, that rosette is off-the-charts cool. What a creative touch!

Has to be one of the prettiest guitars I have ever seen. I had not even heard of Dalmation wood before.
No one has mentioned that back strip inlay with what I assume is spalted maple. How does one even do that with the live edge like you did? Stunning.
