Starting to build...

Unread post by juineaux » Tue Jul 13, 2004 1:40 pm

Im starting to build my slide guitar that I've thought about building for a while. I bought the cocobolo fingerboard and bridge wood today, and Im ordering the padauk for the body this week.

Heres a picture of the cocobolo I picked up:
