Special Amazaque Tenor Guitar

This guitar should not be here, it was a custom order, but a certain amount of confusion was involved when we started it and I chose the wrong species of wood. My fault entirely, blame stress. It looked so splendid that we carried on and finished it anyway.

Figured Amazaque back and sides- sometimes known as Ovangkol, the colour and grain vary enormously from one set to another, but I think this was a particularly glorious mistake. The top is Western Red Cedar. Mahogany neck, Ebony bridge and fingerboard, and Alex suggested that we use notched square pearl inlays to make it extra special. A lovely lovely thing.
