More guitars going out

Slowly catching up with my backlog....2 Stellas just gone out after being with me for neck resets and general overhaul, a 1920's/30s Oscar Schmidt and a 1950s Harmony.

And this just finished today..a ResoCaster, flame maple over mahogany, Bill Lawrence blade humbucker

Now to get on with some cigar box guitars...

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on May 4, 2012 at 1:11am: The dark one is birch?! Or did I get them mixed up?

After looking more closely at the pic, that looks like Italian marquetry between the soundhole and the bridge. Lovely!

Comment by ChickenboneJohn on May 4, 2012 at 1:03am: It's plain old birch, just like the back and sides, one piece, no centre join, no bookmatching.

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on May 4, 2012 at 12:55am: Oh, and just to bug you further...what's the soundboard wood on the Oscar Scmidt? That figure's amazing!

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on May 4, 2012 at 12:53am: John,

Realize you're busy with repairs, builds, Boxstock planning and whatnot, but if you get a chance, could you post a sound or vid file of the Resocaster? I'm seriously intrigued...

Comment by Webweaver on May 3, 2012 at 12:41pm: Love the resocaster.
