Finished 00 guitar now with video

Post by John Parchem » Sat Dec 21, 2013 11:50 am

I finished stringing up my 12th instrument a 00 sized cutaway with arm bevel. I will post a sound clip before the weekend is up. The guitar sounds pretty good. I still need to do a bit of setup work but I wanted it to sit for a couple of days. If you have not followed the build I have a build thread at viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1419.

Thanks for looking and also thanks for all of the positive comment throughout the build of this guitar.

Western Red Cedar Top
Koa Back and Sides
Ebony Bindings, are bevel veneer, and bridge.
Brazilian Redwood fret board.
Amboyna burl headstock veneer and rosette
Mahogany neck.

Sorry, I looked really well, but there is nothing to criticize. My compliments John. You made another beauty, as always. Love your choice of woods here. Looking forward to the soundclip.

John that is a totally awesome guitar. I love it. I've been sharing this build( pictures anyway ) with a guitar tech friend and he is completely mesmerized.

Thanks for the kind comments. The guitar does have a couple cosmetic flaws, that I did my best to minimize but over all I am very happy with the way it turned out. I was playing it for about an hour today and it does sound really good. I will post a clip playing it soon. I am hoping I can talk a friend who can really play to come over so I can record that.
