Spohn guitars MD, 00 and OM
Hey guys, I finally found some time to show you some pictures of the guitars I just started.
Some of you already know the woods because of the last thread I started: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=493507 First the wenge MD. Some of you thought it might get a little bit "boring" to use wenge, but I think it is a great sounding wood. Also due to its clean and simple look it gives room for some more inlays! So here are the specs: Back&sides: Wenge Top: Swiss "moon" spruce Headcap: Custom Rosette: Dyed burl Bindings: Ebony Neck: Mahogany Fretboard: Ebony Bridge: Wenge or ebony Nut width: 44mm Scale: 25" Fretboard radius: 20" Tuners: Alessi Custom options: Cutaway End graft Soundport Segmented backstrip Here are the first pictures of this one! And the second guitar is going to be made out of the extraordinary piece of european walnut most of you voted for. The design is going to be really simple as I want to let the wood speak for itself. Some specs of this one too: Back&sides: Curly european walnut Top: Swiss "moon" spruce Headcap: Curly european walnut Rosette: Ebony burl Bindings: Ebony Neck: Mahogany Fretboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Nut width: 44mm Scale: 25" Fretboard radius: 20" Tuners: Alessi There is a third and very special guitar on the bench but I will tell you more about this one in the next days! |

Good guess! But no I am inspired by the work of Ray Kraut as on all my inlay work and by the artist Wissily Kandinsky.
Thank you! |

Wow—cool. The figured Walnut in the 00 is a nice match with the modern clean lines in particular to my eye. What amazing work!
