That Brazilian Rosewood looks so great it’s got me wondering, what the heck after purchasing upteen numbers of guitars why I never considered acquiring a guitar with Brazilian Rosewood!

It’s the star in the bunch, imo.

Another batch ready for birthday suits and another hump

[setemupjoe]

I don’t know why I find that so attractive. It’s just very elegant. I know it makes no difference to anything and it’s a feature no one but a few of us here would even appreciate.

The Rosewood gets a NC! Now we’re talking! At the photo angle it almost makes it look like it’s an 18”, though I understand Mark no longer makes them.

Ha! - I've been building so many 16" guitars lately that 17" guitars are starting to look like 18" guitars to me, too - especially when I'm sanding, sanding, sanding.....: )

" ' Hump ?? ' What hump ? "

Just to further clarify, the extension of the back over the neck heel (nicknamed the "hump") is a construction technique borrowed from the violin family instruments which all have this type of construction - makes sense, since archtop guitar construction is largely based on violin construction - and I recently learned that in violin circles, the "hump" is call the "crown".

[Rograt]

The Crown! That’s more like it. Sorry Vinny, can you go back and edit out every single mention you have made of the hump? See you in 2025?

[vinnyv1k]

Well the very next Crown/Hump will be mine. Hallelujah

It should be a crump on yours bro.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. To me, Guitars look there very best in the white wood stage.
If I could have one built and it’s wood has a light protective coating and it won’t darken or discolor, that would be the best for me.
But I don’t think that’s possible.
Beautiful job Mark.
