Possibly my most upscale guitar to date, #8 has a beautiful redwood top with mahogany back and neck, and ebony fretboard. I spent a great deal of time working on the inlays, using abalone and mother of pearl. The redwood for the top was cut some 80 years ago and shows amazing figure. I used standard plastic bobbins but wound the pickups as usual on a sewing machine. The pickups are switchable series/parallel using switches in the pots. Home made knobs and switch tip from ebony. I even turned the ebony guitar strap buttons on my mini lathe. I named the guitar “Bohemia” for the European Bohemian movement of the 1800’s, oh, and also for Natty Boh beer!
