Started in lockdown late last year.
Strung up for the first time the 8th March, sold and off to her forever home on the 22nd March.

Listen to her here (recorded on phone):

I always find Ziricote with a high gloss finish pretty difficult to photograph. Photos definitely don't do her justice.

Excellent result and beautiful timber combination. Sounds great.

Absolutely gorgeous Steve.

One can't judge too much through a recording, but what does come across is the evenness of tone both across the strings and along the fretboard.

Hope you charged enough for it!

Cheers Dave

Hey Steve, Beautiful guitar, sounds great. Keep up the inspirational work, great for armature builders like myself to aspire to.

Beautiful Steve. I like you've finished the arm bevel incorporated. That seamless look, looks fantastic!
