That is really fine looking Taffy!
You hardly ever see 14 fret/slot-head combination, I like that!

What is the body size?

Looking good Taffy :D Is the rosette a patterned one or is that one of them there spalted ones? (It looked like a pattern style initially but then appears to be random after another look)
Can't wait to see it with a coat of jam on it.

Taffy MacGyver is a big tease :lol:

Fancy doing that to us Taffy, just enough to get us all interested and then tell us "Details to follow"

Must say though, she looks very sassy from afar.

Cheers

Hi all, thanks for your kind comments, yes sorry about the lack of info I'll make up for it when the guitar is completed, theres a nice customer story to go with it.......to be continued.

Phantom and Hesh, that bridge design was on my first guitar [1977]. I recently had to remove and reglue the bridge,not bad after 30 odd years hanging on the wall or in a stand. I used to modify bought bridges back then, see back of bench, but now build my own.

Ol' # One

Ricardo, Close ups planned, bridge is Cook Town Ironwood

Alan, You got a keen eye, yes blackwood

Waddy, Detail is easy sound clip is another matter, I cant even hear the ones you guys post. I have a six track mixer and a Boss Digital Studio and Shure SM 58 and 57, so I could put down the tracks but getting it too you all???????????? don't hold ya breath.

Nick, tell you and show more when the jams spread on. I will do a thread on the bridge tho.
Thanks again
Taff
