Terz guitar, Sitka/Ovankol, with sounds
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2018 2:38 pm
Another new thing to me: a 3/4 Terz guitar. I used a thin Taylor style V-class bracing. Really easy to make BTW. And a scary few brace to the top. Other builder point out the importnce of a heavy shoulder brace. Here, above the soundhole, there is nothing!
The bass is lacking of coarse, but it can be a great traveler- or studio guitar. This was the first time I used tru-oil and frankly, it is not my finish FWIW. The application is very easy, but I miss the gloss of laquer.
Specs:
Top-Canadian high grade Sitka spruce
Bracing-Taylor style V-Class bracing
Back/Sides-Figured Ovankol
Neck-Honduran Mahogany
Fingerboard-East Indian Rosewood
Bridge-Wengé, pinless
Tuners-Kluson Round Backs
Binding-Walnut
Finish-Tru-Oil
Some noise:
And a soundclip by myself:
