Nice work Graham. The Ramirez style nut is a nice touch.

[Dave M]

Graham that is really good looking. I like the way you have used the Gidgee in it's natural colours including the bridge.

I haven't come across Avodire - not seen it for sale here in the UK. It's good looking stuff, a ripple style that is quite different from the figured Maple that I have been working with.

I wonder did it give you the sound you were looking for?

Looks great!

I particularly like how the ringed gidgee turned out in the head, rosette and bridge. Very nice.

[Graham Long]

Thanks for that, I did have an all brown piece of ringed gidgee on the headstock, but didn't look right with the Rosette.

Lovely work - superb timbers and they're application.
