This is the first pics I've posted of a build and my photo skills aren't too good. Anyway, heres a brief description of my vintage dred.
Its a beautiful piece of EIR, lots of purple in it, Adi top from Blues Creek. The back strip and binding are Bloodwood with maple/ebony laminate. It will have a Herringbone top purf, Martin Pre War Adi bracing, Ebony fretboard with Gold Pearl slotted Diamonds. MArtin style neck with diamond volute. NOt sure about headplate yet--I vasilate between ebony and EIR. Ebony bridge. Neck is 1 3/4" and bridge is 2 1/4" spacing. Grover Sta-tites tuners 18:1, or maybe Waverly's?
