This is the first of two customer guitars ordered at the same time (but for different people). I tried not to build them side by side past the completion of the body as I did not think that would be the best idea with the limited experience I have in building guitars at that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\/N 005: a classical guitar with Pau Ferro for back and sides and 2A Sitka Spruce for the soundboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After looking through the tonewoods I had available at the time, Pau Ferro was also chosen for the fingerboard and an Ebony piece for the bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I brought in some fingerboards and bridges to match back and sides sets that I have available. I know it is not the norm to go outside of the Ebony, Rosewood or Maple for fingerboards and Ebony or Rosewood for bridges but I think it could compliment the guitar’s back and sides set visually with having the option available to a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be more for those that don’t play professionally and sound isn’t all that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neck was laminate with two Oak veneer strips running along the length to give it a little accent from the Spanish Cedar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the first time that I used Pau Ferro for back and sides. It was easier to bend the sides than I had anticipated but it is from the Rosewood family so it should have been on the easier list of woods to bend. It looks completely different from Indian Rosewood that I had gotten accustomed to working with: there are stripes of different colours along the grain which I feel gives it a lot more appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
