Hi Rod,
The wood used and your artistry and fine woodworking skills are very special.
There must be an enormous amount of time thought gone into your work.
Beautiful mate thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Thanks for the positive vibes gents! i stuck some pics on a couple of other social media pages and have had a good response however no $eriouse interest as yet, most likely too hefty a price tag!! if i still own it Bob i'll bring it along to Port Fairy in 2017, dropped Sandy a line yesterday.

Yep , tick of approval for a this hollowbody, feels nice , the neck is comfortable and has a nice tone, good sustain and no feedback.
Performed well at its first gig, very happy with it, sounds as nice as it looks.

Cheers

Rod.

Said goodbye to this one at the recent Melbourne guitar show, awesome guitar created a buzz at this event, a very keen guitar lover snapped it up on the first day, I was a bit sorry to see it go

Cheers

Rod.

LOL..I never have trouble seeing a guitar leave my workshops. They're pretty much like a girlfriend who you've spent half your life with in a relationship that passed it's use by date years ago

Hmm yes but no Martin,, Although i built it to sell to somebody who will love her, i will always love her!!

Got some footage of her making a noise but can't work out how to get it on here!!

An easy way to post videos is to load them into Dropbox then post a link! ps Thanks for the weekend and the tip re the superglue and accelerator, Rod! Cheers, Ross.

Well done on the sale Rod. I'm with Martin I'm never sorry to see them go, in fact I'm happy when they leave, gives me more space to work the next one. Wayne

Try the above link for a bit of an idea of what this can sound like, i think it could suit many styles.
i think i build them better than i film them!!

Cheers

What a stunner! Congratulations on the guitar and the sale. How did you find the silky oak as a neck wood?

[rocket]

Thanks Jim, Silky oak neck wood, i love it, looks great, i've built a couple of guitars with it and a bass, the pores can be a bit on the large side but i love the look of the timber so i don't mind going the extra bit in the finish stage..

Cheers

Rod.
