I delivered this guitar yesterday. going to a family band called Chasing Sunday
Top- Cedar
Back, sides and headstock-Blackbean
Binding-Figured Blackwood
Fingerboard-Ebony
Tuners-Gotoh 510
Finish-Mirotone 3220
Pickup-LR Baggs Pro Element

What beautiful grain! I also like the front and back veneer

That finish looks amazing

Beautiful! The blackbean looks amazing. How do you rate it for workability and tone?

Those woods look great together.

Epic finish! If I was any good with a spray gun I'd be tempted to buy some Mirotone.

What did you use for the neck?

Very nice build. Thanks for posting.

Cheers

Bloody beautiful and what a finish.
Thanks for sharing your work of art.

Thanks. I'm not certain on wood for the neck. I feel it's Meranti however it's been suggested to be Cherry.

Thanks Jim. This Blackbeen piece is amazing. I have some different boards but nothing like this piece. Nice to work with, plenty of springback when bending. This guitar is is bright really clean and articulate on all notes all up the board. really loud. To many things to affect tone for me to say its the Blackbean. However if I had some more i would certainly use it.
