Blackheart Sassafras and Lutz 000.

[ozwood]

Hi All,

A couple of Pics and a sound bite of my latest build .

B&S: Blackheart Sassafras (Tim Spittle)
Top: Lutz (a Woodrat Cast Off )
Neck: NGR (Anagote)
Bridge & Fretboard : Puiri ( Christian)
Bindings : Black Wallnut. ( Model and Hobby shop $5 for 5 cut to size )
Headplate : Spalted Sassafras (sydney wood show)
Tuners : Grovers.
Nut and Saddle : GraphTec Both compensated.
Top Bracing is Falcate .
Back bracing is Radial Live.
Bolt on Neck .

This is the first guitar I have given the Full "Trevor treatment" the proof is in the sound I think.

I am really happy with the Sound and feel of the Guitar.

Soundport is the result of a catastrophic bearing failure , fortunate spot though , I thought mmmm good spot for a sound port !.

Very nice Paul, That Sassafras is an amazing timber.

[EricDownunder]

Wow that's nice The Black heart sasafras is growing on me and it sounds great, I f it's not a rude question what would a guitar like this sell for, I ask as there is one for sale locally on gumtree hand made OM ozzy black heat sass back and sides for $650 been knocked around a little bit and been listed for a while, would it be worth a look

[ozwood]

Hi Eric,

$650 would be about cover the materials , so I'd have a look at it ! if it's just scratches you could sand it back and re finnish it !.

Cheers,

Hi Paul,

This guitar looks just HOT!

This Blackheart Sassafras set had ended up in the right hands, I'd say!

[ozwood]

Customer just picked up the Guitar, could not wipe the smile from his face with the back of the shovel, I think that's the nicest part of handbuilding a Guitar , you put your heart and soul into it and when the customer plays it and smiles , It just the icing on the cake!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
