Hi all, sorry that I've been quiet for so long. Life has been busy!
Here's a Tenor guitar that I've built for a customer in Nth QLD. It is made from a new plan that I've made based on a mid 50's Harmony style Tenor. I'm happy to share the plan if people are interested. It has both Falcate and X-brace options on the plan.
Australian Red Cedar soundboard (33' radius)
Ebony back and sides (12' radius)
Fijian Mahogany neck
Ebony fingerboard (12" radius)
Maple bindings
Falcate bracing
Ebony bridge
Ebony pins

Re: New tenor build
Hi Martin,
Gorgeous as usual!
Two questions, if I may:
1) What does that Australian Red Cedar top sound like?;
2) What timber is the burl on the headstock?
Thanks,
GregL.

Hi Greg, thanks. The cedar top is full and bright. I will try to get a recording of it before I send it off. The Burl is from an old scrap that I’ve had lying around for ages. I think it’s some sort of eucalyptus but that’s a guess.

Looks absolutely beautiful! How did you find the ebony to work with?

Very nice Martin. I love the look of that ebony. I have just got a set and can't wait to build something with it.
