My latest '000' style complete.

Post by Taffy Evans » Sat Oct 16, 2010 2:13 pm

Hi all,
I finished this guitar a short while back, it’s nothing special but I thought I’d show it anyway. It appears some other guitars I posted on the Gallery have gone “walkabout”, due no doubt to recent hacking activities.
Style '000'
Anyway this guitar has:
NGR back and sides
Sitka spruce top and bracing
NGR neck
Jarrah fingerboard
Cooktown Ironwood bridge
Peg head veneer back and front is Tiger Myrtle

Photos did not come out like I thought, must be the new system, anyway you can still see them.
Thanks for looking.

She looks great Taffy. I really like what you have done with the butt treatment, very swish. 8)

Hmmm, if you say so Taffy but I reckon that end graft end pin combination is something special.

I like the whole thing, but you definitely need to tell us how you did that end graft (please) - it is very classy!

It sounds as good as it looks too! I had the opportunity to have a close look and play of this little gem. Plenty of sustain, sweet tone and a lovely guitar to fingerpick. The setup was first class. I have a fondness for these smaller size guitars.

Another class instrument Taffy.

Thanks for looking everyone.

Mark, with the butt inlay I made the tail graft off of the guitar by shaping the rosewood pieces and matching the 2 Maple outside side pieces to the curves, and then gluing it all up and installing as per a usual end graft.

Ok, ok Lillian photo's it is.

The photo's I take for the potential customer to see usually show what I did not so much how I did it. So I just did a 10 minute demo that should help to explain it better. I'm not real good at words anyway, so thanks for the advise.

Lillian, the pickgaurd is English Walnut, left overs from the Parlor guitar I made recently.
