Sexauer FT-0 in 2010?
No, it's a JB-0, the first!#1850110
Italian Spruce over Tucarensis HWR, Oil Varnish.
This is my first Sexauer Guitar for 2010, and I am doing a little risk-taking. I am having great luck with my "0" guitars, and expect this one will be right in there. Several firsts are being applied, however, and so the jury is out until I put the strings on.
This is my first JB, or fully asymmetric, "0".
It is also my first sound port guitar of any size.
It has been 30 years since I made an other than round sound-hole, like this has.
My first "0" size WRX.
This one has a 4 piece back and no center strip. I dare you to try to find the joins. The top is an absolute first rate Italian Spruce top, but as a piece was broken off an edge in storage, I used it on this guitar as the center seam does not go down the center.
I expect completion around February 1, 2010.
The fingerboard is Ebony bound Ebony.
Waverly tuners.
Two angles show most of the idea:
