Jerry's Tubular Quilt! #0032

[Elizabeth]

Jerry has been with us for awhile, but I neglected to designate him a thread....

My apologies, Jerry!

This guitar will feature a snakewood bound quilted maple top, black limba core, and quilted maple back....

Here is Jerry's guitar:

What color finish?

Thanks guys!!

Something in the area of Stu's pale ale or a copperhead burst as far as color goes.

[Shadscbr]

Wow, that's a great quilt! The binding looks sweet too :)

What neck/fretboard woods are you going with?

Shad

That really is gorgeous. I love the snakewood binding Jason has been doing.

How about a little binding? Snakewood is notorious for being difficult to bend. But this went really smoothly so far...

Rough carved and ready for binding.

Using a bending iron to pre-bend the snakewood.

First fit test to see where the apex of each bend should be.
