A man’s wife can complain and can fume
So a collection can spell a man’s doom But she said to her spouse Lets buy a new house Your guitars need their very own room

More work has been done in Nacogdoches
most likely fueled with some custard filled donuts. That was a weak rhyme and I know it, This rhyming ain't easy, but I don't want to quit. So first it is sanded in this high tech machine To make sure the radius is just what it seems. The back is glued on with care and delight, It fits they all scream with very little fight. tx mesquite guitar 32.jpg tx mesquite guitar 33.jpg tx mesquite guitar 34.jpg

Thank you Kevin and John for stopping by,
A few more pics now to meet the eye. First Ryan is routing the sound port without a cuss, then his favorite, sanding the top radius. tx mesquite guitar 35.jpg tx mesquite guitar 37.jpg Steve bending the binding for the headstock, Delicate work, but steady as a rock. This little prose thread started from nowhere, But you can see they continue now elsewhere! tx mesquite guitar 38.jpg tx mesquite guitar 39.jpg tx mesquite guitar 40.jpg

A bridge is made to hold the strings,
This piece of wood much joy it brings. I picked this over another lighter one, as I love the sapwood and darkness so it won. There is also a little red that shows somehow, it may darken but sure is pretty now. Carving the bridge is an enjoyable art, A beautiful curve from a rectangular start. This one came out particularly nice, I am glad I picked it, really didn't think twice. tx mesquite guitar 41.jpg tx mesquite guitar 42.jpg tx mesquite guitar 43.jpg tx mesquite guitar 44.jpg

Remember that top was found,
in a shipyard in Houston town. 50 years have passed since it was sold, How old beyond that we do not know.
