Here is the guitar I had mentioned in the Padauk thread. I just finished it up yesterday, after spendinga few hours getting the PU to balance - PITA theose coax cable style undersaddles.
So - the B&S are Padauk, qurtered, firey red, lotsa action in the interlocked grain when you move it around. The binding is ziricote, mitred purf lines are blk/orange/blk, rosette is braz segments, bridge is braz too. Headstock is a 4 piece bookmatch braz, tuners are 510s in gold obviously. I let the spanish cedar armrest show thru on this one. The neck/headstock has a padauk stripe down the centre, and the finish there is wipe on satin poly, about 8 coats, then 0000 stel wooled until baby butt smooth. Body is nitro
The sound is cetainly jumbo based, but more even string to string with the symetrical bracing, tapered not scalloped. a little more oommph in the bottom from the body size. A couple students watch me string her up and were impressed with the off the bench tone. Full round even, volume there when you punch it hard. Its a nice guit.
