New Brazilian Rosewood set just in!

I haven't posted in a while, the Holidays have kept me busy (outside) of the shop. With that said, I did manage to get hold of a great set of Brazilian rosewood. This will soon be stickered and stacked for future use.

NEW Tonewood!

The UPS man, oh how I love it when he pulls in my drive way :-) He delivered this long awaited set of Macassar Ebony yesterday. I have wanted a stunning set like this for a long time! Now I have it stickered and waiting to be made into a guitar!

Somewhat boring process of lining the rims.

Here is the somewhat boring process of lining the rims. For this guitar I have chose to use standard triangle liners for the top to side joint. These liners came from a High Grade Sitka Piano sound board that was over 100 years old. I got them from a good friend Rob Busto of Paragon guitars.

The images show three different views of the liners being glued up, then the rim setting on the top. Enjoy!
