Home/ Flat tops/ Arch tops/ Pictures/ Inventory/ Music/ Current/Sexauer FT-0 in 2010?No, it's a JB-0, the first!#1850110 Italian Spruce over Tucarensis HRW, Oil Varnish. This is my
first Sexauer Guitar for 2010, and I am
doing a little risk-taking. I am having great luck with my "0" guitars,
and expect this one will be right in there. Several firsts are being
applied, however, and so the jury is out until I put the strings on.
This is my first JB, or fully asymmetric, "0". It is also my first
sound port guitar of any size.It has been 30 years since I made an
other than round sound-hole, like
this has.My first "0" size WRX.
This one has a 4 piece back and no center strip. I dare you to try to find the joins. The top is an absolute first rate Italian Spruce top, but as a piece was broken off an edge in storage, I used it on this guitar as the center seam does not go down the center. I expect completion around February 1, 2010. The fingerboard is Ebony bound
