Lapacho L00

Post by jim_m » Sun Apr 30, 2023 3:14 pm

I finally got around to making a set of Gibson L00 moulds during Covid lockdown and had a B&S set of Lapacho that I was intrigued to try out. It was a bit of an experiment as there's not much info out there, except it's particularly hard & believe me, that's an understatement! Sonically however, the finished instrument has exceeded anything I could have hoped for. It was finished late 2021 & seemed to fuss a bit for a while, squeezing minute glue lines out of joints that I would have considered perfect etc, but it settled down & now is very stable.
