    Default Build #2.

    Well finally got Model #2 finished. Basically an OM sized acoustic. Again I've used recycled Silky Oak for the back, sides and neck. The top is Indian devil tree (Alstonia Scholaris), which was knocked down in a a storm earlier in the year. It is native to Australia. Its air dried density is 385kg/m3 @12% m.c. and its hardness (Janka) 1.7 - 1.9kN, so seemed suitable as a tonewood although not often tried as far as I can find out.

    Anyway some pics...







    and a video of it being played.

    Nice guitar! Did you a recording without the reverb? The high notes seem very crisp.

    No effects at all Seb. Audio and vid just recorded straight onto my iPhone using onboard mic and camera.

    Cheers + HNY!!
