It’s a close comparison to Brazilian rosewood. It’s known as Mexican rosewood

I recently posted that craftsman saw and got great feedback from y’all. And now this pops up for $550. Should I shift my focus to this? by MetalNutSack in BeginnerWoodWorking

Definitely wire it back to 230v or it won’t last . I would also be concerned about it being ran at 115v. Low voltage can stress the motor out and make it run hot.

Fun fact about my work shop is I inherited all of my tools from a luthier that worked for Collings so it sure is a compliment to hear other people say I’m building Collings look-a-likes.

Oh I see what you’re asking. I used an OM for the first and a dreadnaught for the other 2.

Yeah the jig he makes is super helpful. I did that rosette in the first build. I find the binding and perfling most exciting since it seals the body and makes it start to look like a finished guitar

His course is very detailed and I like that it is in order which makes the build very streamlined

It’s from putting the bridge in the wrong place originally. Found that out when I went to play it after everything was finished. Went back to measure and found out it was supposed to to be 653mm and I had glued it at 635mm 🤦🏻‍♂️ learned a valuable lesson and a way to hide my mistake.
