wow, there are some great looking guitars this month. This one has been almost done for a long time but I have just been putting off the final touches for a while. It finally came all together about a week ago.

This guitar is a full hollow-body carved top with parallel bracing. All the wood is around 100 years old or better, except for the fretboard and some of the smaller wood appointments. The top is old growth fir salvaged from a hardware store that was built around 1890, the back and neck are walnut and maple respectively, and are both salvage woods that were locally harvested and used in barns many years ago. The fretboard, tailpiece, bridge, and knobs are all made from EIR. The binding and purfling are curly maple, maple, and black fiber. The Inlays are pearl and silver. It has a p-rail in the neck and bridge, and an LB6 piezo with a fishman pre-amp.
