Something............that takes absolutely NO effort on my part

[Guitarnut]

Well, as usual, I'm a little late to the party. But, glad to have you on board Dave.

[crazydave911]

First up, I had to remodel the shop/room



I'm kinda proud of it




And finally, the proof pic



Kinda tame..........for me . Eastern red cedar for the body (from Grainger Co, right here in East Tn)
Curly maple, for the neck (from Pennsylvania)
Spalted maple for the top (from North Carolina)
Indian rosewood for the fretboard (from..............who knows )

A simple lineup, for hopefully a simple build. I've been waiting a lot of years to build this guitar (and almost didn't this time, for fear I'd fudge it up )

Can't wait to see this! Good luck, man!

Nice choice of wood, I'm sure it will turn out beautiful.

[tiskit86]

Dave, it's only 9:00am on start day out here on the Left Coast, and you're almost to page 2 of your build thread!

You know, that makes me think about prizes for threads! Most interesting read, Best Documentation, etc.

Thanks, bought it on my road trip, in Robbinsville, NC. Nice little town in a lot of ways, but unless you've been there before (I had), and had a compelling reason to go (I did), it's not somewhere you'd go, because it's not on the way to anywhere (and they like it that way ). Nice folks (and kick-ass trout fishing.............in season of course )

Welcome from the Raider nation! . Yeh, and most of it just sayin' howdy to friends and new, soon to be friends . I take people, wood, and animals seriously (we're meant to be caretakers of these ), the rest? Not so much

You know, that makes me think about prizes for threads! Most interesting read, Best Documentation, etc.

One of my few skills, is telling a story . Thanks for stopping by and come back anytime

[Allthesound]

You have some great looking wood there Dave! But i'm sure you hear that allot :) Good luck man cant wait to see this build.

[emoney]

Something about that Red Cedar sure does invoke memories of "warmth".
Looking forward to this build.

Thanks man, sorry, just couldn't resist . I'm looking forward to yours...............build that is

[Davecam48]

That looks like a lot of timber for just one guitar Dave. I'd take it off your hands if you have too much.

[junk mutt]

Good luck Crazy- can I call you crazy?

[RogerC]

Hey Dave, I just wanted to show you my new sig

[R. Stratenstein]

Wow, nice shop. It's so--neat and organized. I never thought of that. What's it like? How do you manage to waste long minutes, if not hours, looking for tools and stuff you've put down and buried under tons of subsequent junk and then can't find again?

Interesting concept, I'll have to ponder on that a while.

But seriously, Dave, you're a mainstay here, always interesting to see what you're up to.

BTW, the bloodwood I'm using in my challenge build came from Robbinsville, maybe the same lumber co--? My son gave it to me as a gift two Christmasses ago, its time to use it in a worthy project.
