FAIRBRIDGE MODEL 3 2005

This Western Australian version of my popular Model 3 is a fundraising raffle prize which I donate every year to the Fairbridge Folk Festival. I liked the look and sound of the 2004 Fairbridge guitar so much I am going to use these great Australian woods each year from now on. The top is Bunya with Jarrah back and sides. The neck is my usual Queensland Maple (toned to match the Jarrah) with a Wandoo fingerboard and Padauk bridge. The red colour of the Padauk goes well with the Jarrah and sounds great. Have a look at the photos below and then follow the links to wood descriptions if you wish.
