Amigos,

Peter Tsiorba has been making spruce and cypress dust yet again. Very light, responsive guitar, photographed here:

Stunning! Great photography too!

What kind of wood did you use for the fingerboard and headstock veneer?

I cannot remember the exact name of the wood, but I believe it was called "Bolivian Rose" and I purchased it about 4 years ago at Gilmer Hardwoods in Portland

The wood has very closed pore structure, very dense, and feels about as abrasive-resistant as ebony. I liked its warm, but not over-the-top "dusty rose" color.

Headstock veneer is Macassar ebony.
