On my bench right now. I inlaid the cedar top with sections of spalted maple. The Brazilian rosewood I am using for this one has some spectacular figuring. The pieces were very tight against my template, after moving the template around for hours I decided to not fight it, and borrowed an aesthetic the late Tom Humphrey used to do: insert a flame maple wedge. The bindings will also be flame maple to compliment.
In the finishing stage, and I would like to share my new neck joint. The way I am executing this joint, I can easily vary the amount of neck elevation to the customer’s preference.
This guitar is finished, looks and sounds phenomenal, and is for sale at Savage Classical Guitar.

Neck of Spanish cedar with choice of ebony or Honduran rosewood insert is standard. Fretboard is of African ebony. The larger profile gold evo frets are spaced and the nut and saddle are compensated according to Paul Jacobson’s article on intonation.
The amount of elevation of the neck above the body at the 12th fret can be specified to the player’s preference upon order. Shown is an 11mm elevation:

I recently stumbled on this while going through my files, and am making it available here. It is the famous Dowland Fantasie, I made my own transcription while in college. I used colored pens, and assigned each voice it’s own color, as a visual aid to help me hear the individual voices in a linear way, and finger it accordingly. Feel free to copy and distribute freely.
