Parlor guitar

[Dave Bagwill]

Have you guys got any ideas on the binding scheme? I do have an ebony endwedge (thanks K) and I made the ebonized bridge, but I'm a little stumped on the rest of the them as I've not worked with such a monotone body before. There is plenty of figure in the bubinga, and the ebony looks good against the redwood, but like I said I'm stumped on the rest of the details - fingerboards, headplate, binding.

I will pay large $ for some good ideas, to be paid out of the profits I make on the sale of the guitar, if it sells for over $12,323.00. :-)

I like cocobolo with bubinga and redwood. It is darker but still has a bit of red in it. If you have back cutoffs form the bubinga book match them for the head stock veneer. If you have a black side purfling line on the cocbolo it would work right in with your ebony wedge.

[Dave Bagwill]

That's a good idea, thanks John.

I like John's idea, sounds like a sweet combination

[Dave Bagwill]

I'm not sure what this binding combination is - could it be coco?

[Kevin in California]

Sure looks like it or similar
