This one featuring some of the nicest Australian Blackwood I've had the pleasure to use.

Body and bindings in Blackwood. Waverly machine heads. Gold EVO fret wire. K&K Aloha Twin pickup. Ebony fret board and peg head and a high gloss polyurethane finish.

Hi Allen,

Stunning!
I love any curly timber, but especially curly blackwood! And you've done justice to that curly blackwood!
Is the bracing blackwood too?
May I ask where you got the timber?

Thanks,
GregL.

The back reinforcement is Blackwood, as are the bindings.

Curly Pete is your go to Blackwood man.

The nut and saddles are called Amber Bone. It's a vegetable dye infused cattle bone. Color goes all the way through and they seem to be much harder than regular bleached bone.
