Was gonna keep this stuff classified, but I cant stand it! New legra woods...
« on: March 25, 2009, 06:46:28 PM »
As some of you have gathered, Bob and I have been hammering out a new legra.

Well its all hammered and construction has started.

I was gonna unviel it, being all dramatic and shite, but I figure $%&# it, cant hurt to show you some woods. So this is the fretboard and the top.











Board is indian rosewood, top is cocobolo.

Bob hunted high and low for the top especially, and I've never in all my days seen anything like it. The necks going where the diamondy knot is.

The shape will be RG.

Now, I just need a way to freeze myself for about  two months.

You and GuiTony will just have to keep sending each other consoling PMs :D

Nice looking hunks of wood there. We're talking more than 6 strings? I couldn't make my mind up whether the board looked wide and whether there was stuff to come off it when I suddenly went "D'Oh" :lol:

This guitar has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve, but that shitees staying classified.

It's all about the cocobolo, such a nice looking and feeling wood! Used it as the fretboard on a completed build, and got another in progress with another. Not enough appreciation for it I don't think :)

Keep us posted with the progress!
