KMG J45-Style dreadnought

Post by dave d » Sun May 12, 2013 10:43 pm

Peruvian Walnut back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, laminated cherry/walnut neck, maple bindings. Abalone rosette, ebony fretboard with MOP dots, ebony headstock veneer, madrone end wedge. I added some purfling to the back and sides. Thanks again to a bunch of you for the help along the way.

I've got some lovely maple burl that I think is going to become the end graft on my current guitar, should look great with curly maple bindings on EIR. I even have some
already stabilized I could use.
Yours looks super duper.
