Adam's Bird built a while ago at Baileys

Following on from another thread, heres a couple of photos of the dreadnought acoustic i built a few years ago with Mark Bailey. This is being typed up on my mobile, so apologies if photos dont work....

It has a macassar ebony back and sides, spruce top and mahogany neck.
The fingerboard is a lovely piece of heckin' expensive snakewood. Beautiful wood to finish but somewhat laughs at tool edges - "I see your centre punch and raise you one wood-from-hell"
Tuners are Gotoh 510's, nut/saddle are Tusq and frets are metal....
It was built over about a week and a half with Mark, Carol, Billy et al. Wonderful people only too eager to pass on knowledge and drink endless cups of tea. Unfortunately the original back developed a few cracks and had to be replaced - an interesting experience in itself.
It feels a very loud and resonant guitar, that weighs a tonne for an acoustic. Probably better suited to plectrum picking/strumming than fingerstye, but im not very good at these descriptors.
Anyway, hopefully, here are some photos. There wont be any soundfiles as my playing is pish And the additional stickers are courtesy of my two boys, Sebastian and Isaac...

Headstock inlay - not too shabby for a first attempt at MOP.

The macassar in all its glory. It is a little darker in real life.

Anyway, as usual any questions feel free to ask
