rlrhett Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Thought I would post pics of a guitar I recently completed. It is a Spruce/Sapele small bodied acoustic with zircoted bridge and fingerboard, paduk and holly rosette, and holly binding: Paduk and Maple Headstock Paduk and Holly Rosette Zircote Bridge Ribbon Sapele Back Holly Binding with Died veneer Purfling Here is an electric I built at the same time. It is a flat top, single cutaway with an ash body and a maple top. Full Guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Great job! I like the acoustic, especially the sapele back, that's some nice wood you got there. And the electric is cool too, it resembles a les paul but has subtle differences that make it a little more unique. I only have one question....why did you make the inlays like that? The double dots at unusual spots would confuse me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double dots at unusual spots would confuse me. Yeah, they kinda confused me too I dunno, call it boredom! Just wanted to play a little. Notice that I went with NO face dots on the acoustic. I guess I am just going to have to learn how to do inlay if I want more creative fingerboards in the future, I'm running out of dot permutations!!!

Inisheer Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yeah, I did notice that the acoustic doesn't have any dots. You like challenges when you play the guitar, huh? Well, congrats on the great builds, and congrats on your ability to play guitars without inlays (I never could....). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
