Pecan Guitar
The body blank for this guitar was sent to me by Saltwell Designs, who wanted to see me turn it into a guitar! I cut it into my Alpine/Glacier body shape and am working on the rest of the build.
It is on the heavy side currently, so I’ve decided to turn this one into a semi-hollow to help relieve some of the weight. Luckily, Matt also sent me an extra piece of the pecan, which I will be using as a back cap after hollowing the core of the body.
This is going to be an incredibly beautiful guitar when complete!
Updates to come!
