Single Cut acoustic guitar with slotted pedhead
Finished this guitar today. It was something I'd wanted to try for quite some time but other ideas seemed to always take a higher priority. I is an acoustic guitar with a single cut away to reach higher fingerboard frets. The back and sides and neck are quilted sapele mahogany, the fingerboard and bridge are ebony. The Celtic knot rosette is maple, and the bindings/trim is padauk. Inlay is MOP. This one took a while to make because it is so hot in the garage where I work (a large fan isn't enough for the heat during a Texas summer). The tuner installation was interesting as I had to recess the machines into the curve of the peg head.
