Sounds really different to my other recently finished 0 Size- darker and more mellow- lot of headroom.

Beautiful work Trent- been meaning to have a go at some bevels but must admit I find it a bit intimidating- these look superb!

Stunner!

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

Hi All, I've been slack about posting lately but have been plodding away slowly and have recently completed a few builds. Here's the first: Size 0 Englemann Spruce Sassafras back and sides Casurina fretboard and bridge Laminate silky oak and Houn neck. It's a beautifully bright and articulate little...

Looking schmick all round! What scale lengths did you run with on the multi?

Just superb!

Beautiful!

Beautiful! That King Billy looks amazing.

Super effort- sounds great!

I've had Allen's experience with the pumice/french polish- amazing but hugely time consuming and hard work. Just purchased the colortone clear waterbased pore filler from stewmac- will let you know how it goes.

This is a 0 size guitar I made recently for my 9 yr old.
Top: Englemann
Back and Sides: Australian Blackwood
Bridge and fingerboard: Casurina
Neck: Blackwood and silky laminate
Martin short scale
French Polish
This one sounds so sweet, I'm really happy with it.

It looks beautiful!!

Looks fantastic Trent! Pity about the supple jack, looks just right with these woods.

I also have the guitar one with the temperature control and have been very happy with it. They'll put an Australian plug on there too if you ask.

I'm intending to soon, just have to get a decent recording setup happening!

Next level as always!

Bunya and Blackwood OM, 14 frets to the body. Laminated silky and huon neck, casurina fretboard and bridge. French polished.

Finished this one recently, Tiger Myrtle and Bunya O size. Laminated silky and blackwood neck, casurina fretboard and bridge.
French polished.
Martin short scale. My first go at this size, sounds very sweet.

Looks great, you must be pumped with it!

Smashing Dave, Looks amazing

Actually didn't see them 'till I read the post..... I'm sure it'll end up looking great anyway.

Looking great Yakka. What's the second rosette?

Thanks Gents,
I'm really happy with the sound, I tried to take my time voicing the top so I'm thrilled it turned out like it did.
The stain is Colortone tobacco brown from Stewmac.
