Working on guitar build number 2. Number 1 turned into the Hurricane Irene model and still has issues that may never be worked out. Right now she is sitting on the bench as inspiration for number 2.
This guitar has bubinga sides and back with a leapordwood back stripe, and will have matching leaporwood bindings. I really like the look of the leapordwood, it makes a nice contrast with many woods.

I had some old mahogany boards from a friend given to me years ago that came from salvaged pallets. They will make great braces and lining strips.
Back braces being fitted and glued.
