Here are a bunch of photos I finally got around to taking outside today.
This is my #2...aka Deux. It was built in Robbie O'Briens class at Red Rocks Community College this past Spring Semester.
- Size 14, 14 Fret, 24.5" Scale
- Primavera Back and Sides (in person, its got a great reflective almost curly quality)
- Sitka Top
- KTM 9 Back and Sides, French Polish Top & Neck.
- Mahogany Neck with Purpleheart and Carbon Fiber Laminates
- Snakewood Bindings, Headplate, and Fret Markers
- Planet Waves Auto Trim Gold Tuners
- K & K Western Pickup (mini)
This one shows the figure in the top fairly well:
The moon for a soundport may be a little campy/kitchy, but it has much to do with the Primavera Wood. Its harvested with the rise and fall of the moon, so its not just some random planetary/etherial thing going on.
This photo caught some of the reflective quality I was talking about with the Primavera.
A little better view of the florentine tip:
The fret markers and position dots are really tough to see in a dark club...probably too subtle. I'll go for more contrasting colors next time. Maybe even as a replacement on this one.
View from the sound port to the purpleheart laminated heel block.
Another Sound Port Shot of the Side X-Braces laminated with Purpleheart, Maple, and Carbon Fiber.
Wow, thats a lot of photos. Let me know if I need to pull some of those to take up less HD space. Sorry.
Robbies classroom instruction is absolutely fantastic, but the forum has been an incredible resource as well. Thanks to all of you who've been so sharing, giving, and kind to us newbies.
