Here's the third and last Healdsburg guitar. This is it for me. It's off to Mike Crixell for photos this weekend. Still lacks the usual tweaking and polishing.







Specs:

Ziricote back & sides from Bob C
Spalted maple rosette
Flamed Eucalyptus bindings from Bob C
Englemann top - X-braced adirondack bracing
One piece mahogany neck w/Madagascar Rosewood overlay
Chrome Gotoh 510 tuners
Ebony fingerboard and bridge (Ebony bridge pins courtesy of Larry Presnall - Thanks, Larry)


By the way Lance, I, along with my lovely assistant (my wife) will be taking lots of pictures and I'll be happy to send them to you and you can cull through them and take whatever you like.

Another beautiful guitar!!!! It is absolutely amazing that BobC has been able to supply such a wide variety of wood in such quality. That binding really looks good on the ziricote.

Very nice! I've always loved the way spalted maple rosettes look.

Great job. That eucalyptus binding looks very nice on the zircote. I have some of that and was wondering how to use it. Now I know.

THAT'S the ziricote set I'm looking for. Sapwood looks great. Will trade other stuff, but must have no-crack guarantee

Another knockout!

Borrowing from another thread, if a porn star was posed with that guitar, she would not stand a chance!

Wow, Great job Jimmy, I don't believe I've ever seen Flamed Eucalyptus bindings before. I really like them, seems similar to Koa in the picture anyway.
I'll have to try them.
I'll be stringing up a very similar instrument this weekend, only with Koa bindings.
Great job!

The binding and the bridge treatment really set this one off.
Thanks for sharing!
