Jack's number 4- KMG Norman Blake 000-12 finished

Post by Jackspt28 » Fri Apr 24, 2015 9:29 pm

Finally finished this one! KMG 000-12 Norman Blake model. Ken supplied everything except the Top , Back and sides. I had some nice Indian rosewood and a really nice Adirondack spruce top so I used those.
I didn't take a lot of pictures as I have three other guitars going at the same time.
Abalone is from DePaul Supply

Finish is Behlens Nitro Lacquer

25.4 scale

I made the Indian rosewood Bridge (2 -1/4 ''spacing)

Nut width is 1-13/16''
