Pics of My Latest Efforts
Here are some pics of my latest guitar,,,it has a mahogany body, birds eye maple neck and the fretboard is a beautiful african wood called Makore inlaid into the neck, the same wood is also used for the bridge and control cover plate. The control knobs are maple and makore laminated together with opposing grain. This guitar has amazing natural resonance,,,also has a Wallace tru-tone pick up. The finish is 6-8 coats of tru-oil.

Love to get my hands on her knobs!
Sonny, do the tuner parts just behind the nut stick above, are level with, or sit below the nut's profile? I like my fingers to come off the nut without touching anything, and be able to bring the bar off and onto the end silently and without interference. Asking because I hope to get one of your babies one day, along with a Pettingill, a Clinesmith, the moon...

,,,,oooh,,such kind words!!!,,,ya'll do an old man proud!!!
Mark it is a 22 1/2" scale,,approx 7/16 string spacing. Rick suggested one with a 3/8 string spacing straight through from bridge to nut,,,but I'll have to get a different pup,,,the tru-tones I have are 7/16. Also with the price of good wood going up (as is everything else!!) this may be the last one at this bargain price.
Thanks again for the acceptance of my efforts,,,much appreciated!!!!
