Tasmanian Blackwood Weissenborn Copy
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:44 pm
G'day to you all,
Here is a weissenborn copy just finished built for a great mate of mine who lives in Lismore. He is a fine singer, songwriter and he likes to experiment with different tunings on his acoustic guitar so we thought a weissenborn copy would be a great instrument to further experiment his music.
This is again a simple Style 1 Weissenborn copy with no body bindings and a three ring rosette. A Fishman soundhole pickup has been fitted and sounds good.
I have recorded the guitar and my mate will too! These recordings will be posted at a later date for you all to have a listen.
Top Back and sides: Tasmanian Blackwood for Barry Kerr.
Fingerboard, bridge, endgraft and headplate: East Indian Rosewood from Shane at High Mountain Tonewoods
Tunes: Vintage for Stew Mac.
Finish is shellac french polished.
Here are a few pictures and thanks for looking.
Cheers
Alan
