#10 Dread

Post by Kenny Wiebusch » Mon Jul 26, 2021 10:20 am

The last dread I built turned out so well I had to try again. The back and sides were sold to me as indian rosewood but I am not so sure about that. It is very petty. This has some shellac on it.

It's beautiful. I really like the binding color against the rosewood.

I agree, that is some lovely wood, and the binding choice is spot-on. Good work!

Very nicely done this far. That coloring looks like Cocobolo to me. Pretty colors.

Nice Karl,
Could be cocobolo indeed. Is the wood heavy/dens?

Good looking guitar! If it felt heavy it could be cocobolo. A gorgeous rosewood set. Indonesian Rosewood (geneticly the same as EIR) has that color in it.
