Rick500 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I don't think I've heard of cedrillo, but I like it. Looks a lot like walnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIRS Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I usually dislike anything PRS or PRS-like yet.. this forum has made me appreciate how no matter the design or my feelings about it, they can still make an excellent guitar. Eddie, your craftsmanship is superb, those birds are over-the-top. The neck is to die for, and that body has such gorgeous coloration to it. MAN! You sir, make some intense guitars. Maybe I am loosing my distaste for PRS. Either way, you have one fantastic looking instrument here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTU 7's. Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Nice project you're working on. The cedrillo it's similar to the Cedro paraguayo? Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiewarlock Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I have no idea if it's similar to cedro paraguayo, but it looks exactly the same to spanish cedar, except it doesn't have the fragant smell, i have no idea if it's imported or a local wood either...but it looks nice...
