That is gorgeous.  Definitely some eye candy!

What kind of binding was used?  It looks as though it has a pink color.  It's beautiful in that it really allows the cocobolo to pop.

She's a beauty -- Congrats!


I did a Cocobolo/Redwood Dreadnaught BTO in 2004.  The only suggestion I can make is to be patient with the guitar, play it often and give it time to open up.  The tone is worth the wait...

There were some requests for a sound clip..
I dont generally think you can really gauge a guitar from these, cause there are so many factors..
But here is something..
Not really a song, just me noodling, with the low E dropped to a D.
