Thanks guys! I can’t remember seeing a Claxton build thread either. About time!

I remember the thread about your visit to TNAG quite well. Interesting conversations about stellar makers such as Claxton, Traugott and others.
The malabar is an amazing choice - are you going for a cutaway to accommodate the 12 frets? Excited to follow along, Tom |

Ed reappraised the selected woods, and based on that we decided to switch the chosen maple back to another, which Ed says is a better fit for the guitar. The new back looks like this:
Ed's signature wood mosaic rosette inlaid: Body assembly: Interior detail. The kerfed linings are mahogany, the side braces Alaskan yellow cedar. Box ready for binding: |

That’s absolutely gorgeous. That must be the nicest maple in musical history.

Wow. Look at the grain on that top. It's hard to imagine another soundboard that perfect.

I've been away from the Forum for a while. What a fantastic homecoming ! Thanks for sharing this build thread, for there haven't been too many on Claxton builds. This is going to be a spectacular instrument in every way. If it were mine, I'd be experiencing long nights of anticipation-induced insomnia, that's for sure !
