<>2007 Sexauer Dreadnought
"D'Grass"

This guitar came out great, but I am in no hurry to sell it as I will look good in the local Bluegrass community if I still have it to show at the Grass valley Bluegrass Festival in June.

<>But if you want something like this, I will sell it; I still have time to make another before then! Your call. 

I used my Snakewood/Maple binding package, and Madagascar Rosewood for the Bridge and Headplate. The Pickguard I made from Greven Tortis. Gold Waverlys. Ebony fingerboard. Calton DeLuxe case in Van Deusen Blue with Granite. Two saddles, one for delicate playing, the other for B'grass action.

 
Honduras Mahogany Back and Sides.
Snakewood Backstrip w/flamed and quartered Maple edging.
I have move the latest pictures to the top of the page, to save us both the scrolling!

I literally "bind" my bindings on, 1/4 at a time.  This is the 4th quarter. Next the end graft, then I make the neck.


Hand carved braces

Italian Alpine Spruce top
top w/rosette 
Before and after the second stage braces go in.
   
Sides go onto the top, and the side reinforcement is added.




I told you this wood would pop when the finish went on, and here's the first sealer coat:

I've never seen the like!
