I told you I'd replace my old 1537. (I just played loose with the details is all.)

Question and answer time, but first...

Thank you for the many kind comments!

I'd like to see the back of the neck, if you have a pic of it.
Here you go...and some close ups of the headstock as well.

What's with your yard? What's all that white spoo all over the grass?
Considering what's been hammering down all day today, apparently it was just the beginning.

I don't recall asking for them, but they're the upgraded FET's mentioned earlier. I had to look to be sure though. See?

Patch,
Very nice! I really like the purfling - walnut? Looks great with the abalone.
And the bridge is great - it does balance the dark tones of the headstock nicely.
The binding is walnut. I wanted to keep several of the features of an original 1537, but I figured a RW top would really bring out a tone different from other O's. (I was right.)

Also, regarding the bridge, I wouldn't want anyone to think I was displeased with the ebony one. Though I typically prefer them, I meant to match the fretboard on this one. But it still looks great as it is. I couldn't be happier with it (unless it was free).

Now for a couple of nifty side notes:

I didn't realize inlaid eppis look even MORE different on the inside.




Also, unlike a traditional 1537, this one does not have the backboard on the upper bout. Not sure why, but with the way it sounds, I don't really care that much.




And I just thought this was a really cool picture. I need to find someplace to use it I think.

And finally, I've loaded a 90 second clip onto my ning page. Click my link, scroll down on the left. Look for Redwood Sound Clip. It's not much, just a quick Zoom H4 recording (not plugged in). Also, I'm really just strumming chords as they strike me. (I couldn't think of a song. Oh well.) Hopefully it will give you an idea, but it surely doesn't do the tone of this instrument justice.

Beautiful Patch.
My wife just looked over my shoulder and said "nice porn!". What a gal.

Some walnut buttons would be nice.

Well done Patch.
