This guitar was finished in December but I have not published it till now because I did not want to ruin the surprise…it is actually a joint ‘significant’ birthday and Xmas gift rolled into one. I hope it gives both of them a lot of pleasure for years to come (I’m sure Andy will let her have a go from time to time!).
All the features of the design were chosen by Doreen including the Dreadnought shape, Rosewood back and sides, Sitka spruce top and Mahogany neck. Rosewood was also used for the binding, fretboard, bridge and headstock veneer.
She also chose some other custom options to make the guitar a very personal and unique special gift. The soundboard has a Spalted maple rosette and an ‘all seeing eye’ logo on the body behind the bridge. Mother of pearl was used to inlay the initials on the 12th fret and ‘Doreen’ on the headstock.
She has worked really hard to make this guitar in time for Xmas and I think you will agree she did a fantastic job- well done Doreen!
