Apart from all the cleaning in the shop over the past few nights and installing the new fence for my unisaw (home made Biesemeyer type) I actually got started on the next guitar.

Imbuia B/S with cedar top.

Here is the Back, joined and a little mineral spirits on it. I hate flashes though, they realy wreck the picture.



And with out the flash, no tri-pod makes it a bit blury but looks a bit like The Shroud of Turin.

Hey Rod the Imbuya looks wonderful! A fellow OLF'er tells me it smells a bit like hashish when worked with.

Man that Imbuya is beatiful.

I'm buying my wood for my ABG from a local builder but he does not have any Imbuya.

I see a heavier Elvis shakin' his thang!   Is it just me or does it smell like ... oh, never mind...

Great Zoot Rod! That's going to be one sweet guitar.
