Blackwood Weissenborn Copy

Post by ozziebluesman » Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:21 pm

Hi to you all,
Its been a while since I posted a guitar here. This one named RUBY is an all Tasmanian Blackwood Weissenborn Copy. She is lightly braced and has the big foot print bridge plate. Tone, sustain is the best I have built yet. It has been voiced as Baritone tuned instrument and is in open C. I sat down for a play last night and found my licks had disappeared. It is going to be a pleasure to get them all back again. Here are a few pics and thanks for looking.

Hi Josh,
I'm happy with the tone and it needs time to be played in. I will do a sound sample later on. The mini maton copy is ready for finish. Workin on the OM finish at the present. Look after yourself.
Thank you Kim, Martin, Mark, Bob and Jeremy for your comments.
See you in a couple of weeks Bob.
Cheers
Alan
