My J45 is finished
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 12:34 pm
My third guitar is finished. It is a Gibson style J45 that was my first non-kit build. All in all I think it came out pretty well despite a few challenges along the way. Thanks to all in this forum for comments and advice. Ken, thank you for your kits, guidance and inspiration that has led me here. Truly a bedrock foundation.
Here's the details:
24.75 scale
Ambrosia Maple back and sides
Sitka spruce top
Bloodwood/Brazilian rosewood/maple end wedge
Bloodwood/Wenge/Maple back strip and truss rod cover
Bloodwood bindings
Maple neck
Wenge fingerboard with pearl dots - 12" radius
Wenge head plate with pearl inlay
Wenge bridge
Next one has been started!
