Deerbridge D-12 smoked oak
I got this guitar a couple of days ago (commissioned end of 2017).
The specs: Top: german spruce, bearclawed Neck: honduran mahogany B&S: smoked oak Fingerboard and bridge: ebony Headstock overlay: smoked oak Binding: herringbone Pickguard: Celluloid Tuners: Schaller GrandTune Frets: EVO Manzer wedge on the body K€K Pure Mini pickup and Phase Preamp Here are two pictures of the wedge: I‘m pretty happy with the outcome, the guitar is big, sounds big and is ergonomically what I hoped it would be. Here’s a little quick one: https://youtu.be/bZMeq7xyPBE

Great looking guitar! The "smoked oak" looks great. The 12th fret inlay is very cool - any significance behind it?

Deerbridge D-12 smoked oak
Looks almost like Rosewood, right?

Oh, and it‘s the seventh fret.

Sounds great
This axe sounds very nice indeed, and your picking is sweet, too!
I love my JK Custom with the Manzer Wedge ! The comfort is easy on the old shoulder! What effect does smoking the oak have on tone, and workability? It does look like Rosewood. Have fun and play on in fine health Paul

the power of deerbridge
congratulations,
Martin is one of the best builders I know in germany and his guitars have such a lot of power and also an own warm voice with it's own "dirty" character, that you need a long time to find something comparable. all the best with your new friend. By the way I once waited more than two years, but pleasant anticipation is known to be the best kind of delight. guitarchie |

Thanks Paul. That iv line has been taken out since, thankfully. As for the effects of „smokin‘ the oak“ - I wouldn’t know. It would be rather difficult to A/B that, tonewise. Maybe mostly aesthetic?
