Nova Relic

We just finished another Sorbera Nova Series and decided to Distress the finish here and there so it looks like a relic.

It is distressed so from a distance the guitar looks perfect, but up close you can see how well it is played.

Here are a few photos of it.


OK, that was more than a 'few' photos... but I love this guitar.
You're in luck too... this guitar just happens to be for sale. So contact me if you're interested in one of the first Sorbera Nova Series Guitars! It already looks like you play it a lot, so you have a jump on your competition.

Frets are a wonderful thing.



The carve on the neck isn't done yet... I'll have to finish it up tomorrow.

Inlay Art.

We threw the fingerboard on yesterday and put a few MoP(Mother of Pearl) inlays into it.

Here are a few pics of the inlay.






This is the inside of the guitar with the sunlight shining through the top.


Next we need to finish carving the neck, put the rosewood binding onto the guitar, and finish it!

Black Limba + Spruce

We just finished profiling the neck of a Black Limba guitar and test-bolted it on.
This guitar is the first we've tried with a sound port for the player. (the hole on the player side of the guitar) I'll let you know how that turns out.

I want to show this guitar off because of the amazing grain patterns.
Here are a few pics:
