Very nice, Tony - also, that is fine looking wood. How does it sound?
What is your method for the endwedge treatment?

Re: Black Limba dreadnought
These are worn holes. I did not fill them intentionally, but the finish got in them and well...sort of closed them up. I wish they were fully open to the inside.
I have more pics if anyone is interested I just did not want to post too many. HA!!
Thanks for looking!

Sounds like a guitar of course! It sounds good to me. I will post a clip soon.deadedith wrote:Very nice, Tony - also, that is fine looking wood. How does it sound?

I follow the KMG instructions for doing the end wedge. It has always worked so why change?
The wedge is wood from the sides.

Beautiful job Tony! Touche!
I like how your bridge turned out, nice lines. What is your opinion at this point of the pinless bridge?
That wood is so awesome. I know you have another set. Will you be making it up for yourself?

Beautiful Tony! I too like the bridge, worked out well.
So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.
