I'm afraid I'm going to scratch this guitar before I get good pictures of it, so these will do before I get some glamour shots. I still need to add the pickup system and I might try one of those NVTone microphones as well.
Beautiful! I love the tailpiece.
Crappy pictures of my most recent guitar. This batch is finished. This one is loud, sounds great. First time I've done a laquer finish and I hate to say it but I like it. It's stinky and deadly so I'll mostly stick to my epoxy/oil Ken Parker thing for the time being but it looks really nice.
I'm planning on moving, probably to Chicago, after Django in June. I want to make 4 guitars before that, hope so anyway.
Back is Claro
Sides are crotchy walnut
Top is Sitka
Carbon reinforced braces
Neck is mahogany
Bridge is ebonized Sapele
Tailpiece is carbon fiber reinforced ebony
Pau Ferro fingerboard
Might be for sale....
Stunning!!!!
Looks great, Paul. A very complete and satisfying aesthetic!
Wow, there are so many cool details like the binding, tailpiece, heel cap, etc. It looks amazing and I’m sure it sounds even better. I remember you posting about moving a while back. Chicago won out, huh?
Beautiful work Paul! Would love to hear an audio sample too if you can find the time :)
thanks man! I've been fucking with every part for a while but these last three I feel like I can make these and be happy. A modern version and a "traditional" version which is not really traditional.
Chicago I think would be really good for me. It's really far from my aging parents and it's daunting to start over again at 50. I think I will stay here till June even though I hate it here. I might change my mind 5x between now and then....
