This is my 6th guitar but 1st cutaway. Had some headaches bending the cutaway, couldn't pull it into my mould so had to finish it on a hot pipe. It has Che Chen b/s, Sitka top, indian r/w fretboard bindings and endgraft. Walnut neck and bridge. Be a couple of months till it's finished, hard to get guitar building time with a full time job.

It is slightly smaller than a dread, the timber is also called Carribean r/wood but it's not a true r/wood ( metopeum brownei ) it's non porous so no grain filling which to me is great because i fp all my guitars so this one will be a lot easier. I haven't used it before but the tone is supposed to be like r/w.Wayne
