Here are a few pics of the first guitar I've finished since moving to the new shop. Geeze, this moving stuff has got to stop! This one is black acacia B/S with a engelmann top. The FB, Bridge and headstock are mac ebony. Still needs to have the action tweaked a little, makes my fingers hurt to play it. I took it to a jam last night and got a few oohs and aahs. Full frontal: 
Backside: 
Side shot: 
Rosette shot: 
Headstock: 
Thanks for looking! |

Thanks guys! Man, I gotta get a better shot of that back. It really is a nice looking piece of acacia. The camera just did funny things to it. I'll try again after I get some new batteries for the camera. |

Thanks Andy! I am alway awed by your guitars. BTW, I forgot to mention, this is built from the Prima plans that I got from Frank Finocchio. Someone was asking about that in a earlier thread but I couldn't remember who it was. |

[QUOTE=Brock Poling] Nice one Dave.... Prima?[/QUOTE] Hah! I was going to ask the same question :^) I like my prima better than the OM shape that I have a John Hall mold for. I need to do some measuring and drawing some day. |
