Parlour in Flame Jarrah
Front and back plate mock-ups
The back and sides are from an Australian timber called Flamed Jarrah. The soundboard is an Alpine spruce. This will be braced in a variant of a Falcate pattern where curved the braces will be laminated with a mix of spruce layers and a mahogany layer. Once laminated and shaped the braces will be resin bonded to the soundboard with a carbon tow layer between the brace and soundboard. There will be no upper carbon fibre/resin layer as the addition of the mahogany lamination will add extra stiffness to the assembly.
The neck is mahogany with a stacked heel, solid peghead and Gotoh 510Z tuners (black). Twelve frets to the body join with 20 frets in total. At present the fretboard will be either East Indian Rosewood or Ebony with a decision on that being made as the build progresses. The bridge likewise will match the fretboard.
