The back of the ebony Waverly machines The 5th string's tuner is offset so
that the string will clear the 6th string's post. A small detail that
helps avoid strange buzzes.
An idea of the grain; red spruce is rarely very tight, but fortunately,
it's often stiffest when wide grained
The serial number
I like how the rosette rings can be seen through the pickguard
Ebony bindings and end graft
A shot of the interior from the driver's side....
The ebony headstock, bone nut, and abalone script inlay: sorry about
all the smudges and fingerprints<g>
The heel cap is also ebony.
Another shot of the top's grain and the purfling/binding
combination.
The ebony bindings blend in well with the sides.
The view from the top
The ebony end graft and bindings blend seamlessly
The guitar in its final home, a custom fitted Calton case
The back; I find it really hard to photograph these glossy finishes
while still showing the wood's figure and color
The fretboard is fully bound in ebony, also. I don't like seeing the
fret ends.
The dark Brazilian Rosewood bridge, bone saddle and ebony pins.
