Sexauer '24
I have started my first guitar of the new year, A fully asymmetrical German spruce over Brazilian Rosewood JB-16. There will be a lot of snakewood, including the binding, the fingerboard, and the bridge. The top was acquired by me 20 years ago, and was said to be 30 years old at the time. The BRW back is very tight grained, extremely well quartered, and its only fault (as if) is being not quite straight grained.

Thanks for the comments, folks, it is good to see there fans out there!

Thanks for continuing to show the photos Bruce! Yours is the only builder thread in here I follow.
If I somehow find myself a bunch of $ before you stop building...ever consider an octave mandolin? Flat top, fan fret 21-22" scale... |
Nice to see you back at the bench Bruce. To another new year…

I am maintaining my usual steady pace on the new JB-16. I have made the fingerboard, installed the rosette, and put in the backstrip. I have also made the braces, and will too be able to show them to you installed.

As always — killer! And I know it will sound brilliant.
|
I love that rosette, Bruce. Well done, sir!
