A classic design, with a few Beansprout touches, I’m really proud of this one. The customer asked for Englemann Spruce, which stays creamy white over time, compared to Sitka spruce that darkens a bit. The back and sides is African Mahogany from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland, which is stiff and reflects sound from the Spruce top well. I chose a Spanish Cedar neck and grafted Pistachio fretboard to introduce some more color to the design. Lastly, the customer asked for some shop made rope binding, which is a random layout of 5 different woods. It is light but solid, with a sweet and loud sound.
