I'm on the build list for Parlor Guitar by David Webber.http://www.webberguitars.com/catalog.http
I told myself when I bought the Pono UL4-40 steel string, that would be it, no more.
It led to my playing my guitars again.The bodies are just too big. So I decided on a parlor. It was either a tenor guitar or parlor. I have one of David's baritone ukes and found the neck, feel and action I've been searching for all these years. Playing so many years,58, a person gets to the point of knowing what they want in an instrument; it's another matter finding it.
So, I'm on his build list for July. It's time to start thinking wood choice. Suggestions? Normally he does a spruce top with curly maple b/s. Perhaps that in a Sunburst finish. If I want it mellower; a cedar/walnut combo. Rosewood and cocobolo are out because of Cites.
I'm looking forward to this. It'll be the definition of "Uncle Pat's" guitar to future family pickers; along with my ukes of Course lol.
