mattijuntunen Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 New here! Located in northern Sweden, where i live with my SO and 4 cats in a small village with 10 inhabitants. Been building on and off for maybe 10 years, with varied levels of commitment. This is my first own design, and i try to use as much local wood as possible. The neck is a 5-piece laminate from flamed birch and mahogany with a double action truss rod and a fretboard of Pau Ferro. Body wings are made from a reclaimed barn floor of spruce(i think). Top wood is sallow burl and the head is birch burl. 27,5" scale length, 6100 frets, approx 9-12" compund radius, Gotoh tuners, Tooyful individual bridge saddles, Dimarzio Super 3, compensated nut. Finished with linseed oil - shellac - satin nitro. More pics from the build here: https://imgur.com/a/s1bzn And a quick video can be found here: So... Hi guys! Guessing i am here to stay! Fun to hang around likeminded people! Cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi @mattijuntunen and a very warm welcome Beautiful build - I particularly like the carve at the back....just my kind of build. I can see you will fit in here very nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Welcome! That thing is gorgeous! Beautiful top and excellent back carve. I'm a fan of carved backs.....every guitar should have one. I'm also a fan of unique volutes. Hang around and show us your next build when the time comes. We love to watch them come together.

SR Thank you! Totally agreed. Every guitar should fit snuggly against ones body. Yes! Next build will probably have more progress documentation. I'll hang around! Trying to catch up with all the excellent builds around here. So much inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltar Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Welcome Matti, I have to agree with these guys, that is one lovely guitar. The sallow burl looks almost translucent. I reckon we'd all like to see a few of your other builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They grow just below ground these burls. Really weird stuff. I will be around for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariahrob Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Wow. Lovely wood choice and looks impeccably built. Looking forward to seeing work in progress shots of the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
