This one for a returning client and was special request to build a concert with a 16" scale length and 14 frets to the body. I liked the idea so much that this is the first of 3 in a batch to be completed. I'm particularly pleased with how they all have turned out.

Body - Curly Honduran Mahogany
Bindings - East Indian Rosewood
Fret Board - East Indian Rosewood
Head Plate Veneers - East Indian Rosewood
Bridge - East Indian Rosewood with Curly Koa Veneer
Rosette - East Indian Rosewood
Tuners - Gotoh UPT's
Strings - Worth Browns
Finish - Microtone Semi Gloss

Hi Allen,

Fantastic, as usual. That curly Mahogany looks beautiful! What's it like to work?

Thanks,
GregL.

Very nice to work with. All mahogany has some fairly large pores to fill, and that was the only part of working with it that you might say is difficult. Just have to plan on spending some time doing that part.
