My most recent build has just been completed, a 17″ acoustic arch top with single cutaway, the back and sides a moderately figured book matched Blackwood, the top is European Engleman spruce, maple and purple heart neck, indian rosewood f/b, eucalyptus burl to the headstock and finger rest, Seymore Duncan suspended humbucker. The instrument is finished in Mirotone nitro with a mahogany red burst finish to the top.
This instrument will have it’s public debut on the 23rd of Feb when the Allen Brown quintet plays the Uptown Jazz Cafe.
