Martinedwards Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've cut about 2" from the forward bout to move the bridge deeper into the body. 12th fret neck join also moves in a little over a 14th, and I never play up there anyway!! Back, sides, rosette & neck are walnut, top is sitka, binding & fretboard are rosewood, purfling maple. scale is standard Stewmac 13 and a bit inches, bridge is ebony from two black keys off a dead piano. I'm DELIGHTED with it!! soundclip....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-CB- Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I like it!~ It sort of reminds me of my Tacoma.... but not quite... and better. If ya ever do another, why not just shorten the fretboard by a few frets? I like the depth too. I mean... that is just so cool.
