Somogyi Apprentice - Louis Manteau 00 Koa

[Louis Manteau]

Hey everyone !

My name is Louis Manteau, I am current apprentice of Ervin Somogyi, along side of Jeff Silverman that you recently met on the forum

I'm currently in the last few months of my two-years apprenticeship with the Master, and here I'll share with you some shots from my last build in the shop, a 00 with European spruce and a special set of Koa from the private Somogyi reserve that he gifted me.
That piece of Koa is quite a character piece, I really wanted to preserve these open knots if possible







The next post will be about the rosette !
Enjoy !
Also, that guitar is still an orphan !

Yeah, the images don't show up on my side either. but...

I right-clicked on the icons and selected "Open image in a new tab" and they do show up in the new tab. I'm not sure that will work for everyone.
