    Default Tenor eye candy

    Here is my latest tenor guitar. Back and sides are a stunning piece pf Black Heart Sassafras from Tasmania, top is European Spruce, neck Honduras Mahogany, bindings Indian Rosewood, Rosette Black Heart Sassafras. Sounds pretty nice too, probably the best sounding tenor I have made to date, I really like the sound I am getting with Sassafras in mandolins as well as guitars. Certainly is the best looking tenor so far, is tough to beat that Sassafras.

    That back looks like it was borne of Fangorn itself. A mirror to an Ent indeed !
