Honduran Rosewood Tenor
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 3:09 pm
I've been wanting to do something like this for several years and finally got the opportunity over the last several weeks. And the real sweetener was that every single component went together like it was wanting to be an instrument.
The Honduran Rosewood is from some very old stock I've stashed away for special projects. Adirondack Spruce soundboard and curly Australian Blackwood bindings.
The fret board has a 12"-16" compound radius in streaky ebony. Head plate veneers and bridge are cut from the same board.
Inlay is faux ivory with scrimshaw details. Gotoh UPT 4:1 planetary tuners. Strings are Thomastick Infeld and Saverez Alliance. Finished in high gloss polyurethane.
