Sorry, It's been a while. We have relocated cross country to Vermont(& everything that goes with that!!!!) I have my new workshop set up & a couple projects getting all finished up. This first one is a little experiment in a shorter scale & smaller body guitar. The Top is some flat sawn Koa that I picked up in Hawaii a while back with Ebony & Maple Dressing.

This little Beauty is for an artist, Anita Coats. I'm working with her to build to her desired specs. The top is Alaskan Sitka Spruce. As with the previous guitar the appointments are Ebony with Back, Sides & Neck being maple(Even a Vermont Maple Back).
