Tinozza ABC Build

The rosette:
The wood I used is some oak that I got from a friends wood pile.
In the second pic you can see the mistake I made cutting to circle out. I mismeasured and cut it too small. One of the things I like about working with wood is that if you make a mistake you can turn it into custom work and not not charge for it. So, I saved it by going from a simple ring to a little fancier.

Sorry for taking awhile to get back. I've been busy on the build but, my camera broke. It's funny how it didn't work after I knocked off the bench. Anyway, on with the build. I got a lot done. Body glued together, binding on, and end graft. Working on setting the neck angle and making the bridge. I had an old BC Rich bridge sitting around that worked for finding the saddle placement. Sting up the E and G string and move the saddles until it's in tune. Measure the distance from the nut to the bridge and it's done. What's got baffled though is that the distance is the same on the E and G string, 869mm and 868mm. Normally the distance is greater no the E string than the G string. I even tried another set of strings and the same results. So, that's what I'll go with. Some Pics with another camera.

It looks great! What are the bindings made of? They're a nice match with the walnut back and sides...
Before I read the text, I freaked thinking that you were going to mount that lump of brass to the top!
Cool method to determine the real bridge position.

The binding is coco bola on the top and a thin strip of maple next to the walnut. I wanted something that wood contrast the spruce and walnut. I did come out looking good if I might say so for myself. Tedward

Ok guys, I would love to do a sound clip but, don't know how. Some guidance would be great. Tedward
PS: I have been playing it at gigs and the drummer said it rattles his b*lls. It sounds great.
