Bob Tucker Walnut OM

It's always fun when a customer finds a set of back/sides that speaks to him (or her), and then sends it to us! Bob found this lovely set of Claro walnut and fell in love with it. Next he knew, he was sending it our way, dreaming of the future guitar. On top of that, he fell in love with this highly figured piece of bearclaw Sitka spruce. Well, it seemed appropriate to turn this lovely stash into a deep-body OM, complete with a cutaway.




In these shots, the neck and bridge are pinned on, in preparation for sending to the finisher. The body is in real need of finish sanding, so don't judge the walnut too harshly...it really is beautiful wood. Won't be too long now, Bob!
