That looks to be an amazing guitar.
That top! Oh my--it's stunning! And of course the back and sides are fantastic as well--really looking forward to seeing this one finished!

Hope so, Dave. You'll let us know if/when we zig when we should have zagged...right? Thanks Nemoman, we were pleased to get both these sets of wood. Just didn't imagine they would end up on the same instrument. Doubles the pleasure in one swoop. |

A beautiful guitar! Something very special about redwood. Bet it's going to sound awesome.

Well, it’s time to do some updating on Dave’s guitar. We’ve been working on the trim. Dave chose some Ebony to really set off the cool woods.
Here’s the end wedge being clamped in with band clamps. And the the reveal: Taping the purfling around the back. And starting the binding on top. You can see the Teflon spacer in the purfling where some shell will go later. Thanks for watching. |

Looking great guy's, I'm really happy we decided on w/b/w purfling lines. It really provides a nice contrast with the Madi and Sinker. Can't wait to see more.

Laying out the neck.
The Hall of Clamps. Gluing “ears” on to the peghead. A wild rosewood veneer. Taking shape. More soon. |

Thanks Nemoman. Seeing the peghead overlay at Steve's shop I couldn't believe what a great match it was. Finding it was a major determining factor in choosing a solid peghead vs a slotted peghead. I couldn't be more pleased with how it looks.
