Working Dog Guitars - Hand Crafted Originals

Work in progress-Frankie's Parlor

A Parlor sized guitar in the style of a 1930's Gibson L00.  The guitar uses native Australian tone wood back and sides (Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras) and an Adirondack Spruce top.  The rest of the guitar will be built using native species such as Jarrah, Myrtle and Queensland Maple.
