NGD: CEDAR PRETTY TOP (says the Swedish Chef)

[Serious Poo]

Cedar is just such a wonderful tone wood, mellow and rich sounding. Not too bright. Pretty on the eyes and ears. Congrats!

 

[Tim]

A true 11Top Steve........ A tribute to mother nature!!

 

[László]

That's a special one. Great looking.

 

[jfine]

That's gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen figured cedar before.
Reminds me of a country gig I did many years ago where this guy comes up to the bandstand and asks us if we can play "Cedar Tree". We all looked at each other and went, "'Cedar Tree?' Sorry, never heard of it--how does it go?" The guy went, "Cedar tree, how big it's grown, well, friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big..." "Honey", Bobby Goldsboro--one of the cheesiest songs ever written. Needless to say, we didn't play it!

Dang, Dude! That's one of my favorites of yours.

 

[Mikegarveyblues]

Nice! Love those inlays!!!

 

[cwhenke]

Great wood there, and I love the inlays.

This might be a stupid question, but isn't cedar typically a little more brown or red than that? She seems awfully blonde compard to the cedar I have in my woodworking stash.

This young lady, Jaime Aulson, is the talent behind those inlays:

What a guitar! Those inlays are spectacular, as is the wood choice. Excellent work!

 

[itschurchie]

DAMN! that top reminds me of sunlight in water lol

 

[HighGain510]

The inlays on that look great and that's definitely a top I'd agree needed to stay natural! No need to tweak what mother nature perfected, eh Steve?

 

[jcha008]

Absolutely fantasmic as usual Steve! Great guitar.

 

[David Grantham]

Damn you sir! I would be in big trouble with the lethal collective object consciousness of gas in your proximity.

 

[Woundtight]

Nice neck, Nice FB, Nick top, nice back, nice inlays, nice knobs, nice..

Whew, I'm exhausted.

I saw this guitar in person today. I am so blown away by that top. It will haunt my dreams tonight.

 

[Gusthebear]

I've never seen a piece of cedar like that! Wow!

 

[gush]

I would love to know what that cedar top sounds like. Let us know man.

 

[Danerada]

That's just the bees knees.
