My 3rd classical is done!

[Kevin in California]

This is my 2nd full classical, the first of 3 was actually a crossover.
This is based on a 1967 Daniel Freidrich plan. Birdseye maple back and sides, Englemann spruce top, curly Koa bindings, maple and indian rosewood purflings, curly Koa headstock face and heel cap. Schaller tuners with ebony knobs. Ebony fretboard and indian rosewood bridge
FP finish that was sanded and rubbed out to a gloss.

It is complete except for putting on strings a doing the final setup. I'm going to let it sit in its case for a few days and then will string her up.
I have high hopes for a loud clean trebley sound. We will see.

Beautiful, Kevin.
The maple looks great - did you tint the finish at all?
Did you make a Spanish style heel?

[Kevin in California]

This is a constructed with the spanish heel, sides inserted into the heel block. The shellac was super blonde, and did give the guitar a amber, almost yellowish hue.
No super keen about that, but that is how it turned out. Probably the darker colors would have looked better????

[Dave Bagwill]

It looks very good to me.
Did you make the neck? From any particular plan?

[Kevin in California]

Yes I made the neck, scarf joint headstock, stacked heel mahogany. It is from a 1967 Daniel Freidrich plan. I like the shape and size alot.

[John J]

Very nice Kevin. I personally like the look you achieved on the maple.

Strings are on, it sounds pretty darn good if I do say so myself. In the case now waiting to be picked up by the new owner.
