David R's OMFS sides getting bent out of shape :)

Here is a wonderfully figured set of Cocobolo for David Rs OMFS. They bent like butter.. I just love Coco!

Nice Butt! ;-)

0-12 Body is done!

Here she is! A little dry, no shellac so the color is less intense. It is completely in the white right now. The body is all done, the neck is roughed out and will be my focus for the next week. I hope to have this one in finish with in the next two weeks.
The bindings are Brazilian rosewood with a b/w/b side purflings and the top has a Koa/b/w/b purfling scheme.
This is also the first guitar that I have used what I call my petite binding scheme on, They are .180 tall, instead of the .250 that I have always used. Its a bit more difficult to execute because there is less room for error with the petite bindings.
But I do think its worth the extra effort, I think this will add a nice touch to my guitars.

0-12 Purflings

Here is a close up of the binding/purfling scheme that I used for the 0-12. From the binding in, Brazilian rosewood/koa/b/w/b/Top. I used a very petite b/w/b as I felt it was needed to keep the appointments to a minimum.

Coming along!

The 0-12 now has binding! On the back anyways :)
Tomorrow the top binding and purflings will be installed and this little guy will be ready for finish! Ill be working on the neck next week.

0-12 in the Ugly Duckling Stage

This weekend saw the 0-12 get closed up. Its starting to look like a guitar!
This is also what I call the Ugly Duckling Stage. The binding ledges have been cut and today it will get Brazilian Rosewood bindings installed to match the Rosette, bridge and fretboard.

Thanks for looking!
