Steve Roberts - a couple of builds

Post by steve roberts » Tue Oct 02, 2012 8:09 pm

Hi everyone,
Really starting to get the hang of posting photos to this forum.
Below are pics of three of my builds made over the past few months:
- Guitar No. 13 - Tiger Myrtle back & sides, Sinker Redwood top & Jarrah trim - 14 fret 000
- Guitar NO. 10 - Honduran Rosewood back & Sides, Spruce top & Tiger Myrtle bridge & headstock - 14 fret 000
- Guitar No. 11 - Amazon Rosewood back & sides, Cedar top with fletta fan bracing style - Classical which I built as a 21st birthday present for my nephew.
I will post more pics of some of my earlier builds in days to come.
I'm currently building my first cut-away with "live back" & will post photos soon.
Regards
Steve Roberts

Really nice work Steve. You clearly have got your act together. Where did you get that Honduran and Amazon rosewood. It looks fantastic.
cheers

Hi Mark
Thanks for the kind words - I really enjoy building using different timbers. The Tiger Myrtle was supplied by Tim Spittle in WA, the Honduran and the Amazon were sourced from Allied Lutherie in the US. Check out their website - they realy have some interesting stuff. Although it can be a bit pricey they certainly do have a lot of interesting guitar sets.
