This top is Engelmann Spruce, The perfect wood with a Walnut or Mahogany back
This guitar has a full Striped Mahogany body. Beautiful to look at with great bass.
East Indian Rosewood.
Here you can see the radius built into the top.
Bear Claw Sitka Spruce.....the best!
A perfect break that will glue invisible with hide glue.
three 6 inch C-clamps hold the bridge while the glue dries.
Repair and re-glue with hide glue.
The shell is cut by hand with a jewelers saw.
Curly Maple and big P-90's
California Red Cedar, a soft wood but incredible tone.
This guitar is entirely made of Rosewood. Solomon Island, East Indian and Brazilian.
Beautiful Curly Maple.
The is likely the oldest method of clamping wood. Chinese invention 4000 years ago. It is called a go-bar deck.
Big Mandola, can be tuned as the top 4 strings of a guitar.
Carving the top to the correct thickness. It just takes time.
13 fret blues guitar - This guitar has an Engelmann Spruce top with a Mahogany back and sides. Engelmann will not take as much time as Sitka Spruce to age into it's true tone, and the end result is a tone a tad more mellow or 'woody'. The Mahogany compliments it well with an added bass tone.
Curly Walnut
Brazilian Rosewood - I have a few pieces of this Rosewood. It is difficult to find and pricey!
Curly Maple
Bear Claw Sitka - this spruce wood is the stiffest top wood av ailable.
Fingerboards - Maple, Rosewood, Ebony
Heat and moisture removes the old bridge.
This is one dangerous way to remove wood fast!
Back radius.
The Top - The top is Red Cedar, with a nitro finish.
The Back - The Back is Solomon Island Rosewood, a mellow tone wood that is extremely difficult to find. It has a center joint of red-line sapwood. It is 13.5 inches wide.
The neck/fingerboard - The neck is 3 ply of cedar-maple-cedar. The fretboard is E I Rosewood with 138 cut pieces of Abalone. Strings are set at 2mm at the 12th fret.
