The wood, Madagascar Rosewood will be used for the "WorkHorse" in it's milled form. This will be used for the back and sides.
This is what I chose for the headstock overlay on the "WorkHorse"
Bent and coupled the body is getting ready to be fitted with the neck.
With the wooden Rosette...here's the 3/4's front shot.
The first of a few shots showing the guitar looking like a guitar.
Beautiful contrast to the Mahogany neck...
The WorkHorse nears the spray booth...
Same shot from the back this time...that Madrose is gonna really jump out when it gets some lacquer on it.
A nice shot of the contoured neck joint through the cut away...soon....!
The first of several pics showing the shop in Montana.
Most of the guitar crafting and building will take place in this area.
Looking in a more Southerly direction at the shop. The spray booth door is closed.
From the opposite corner looking towards the office.
Almost due north through the shop.
