Rope binding in holly and rosewood. on a Cucumber Magnolia back & sides. This DVK  body shape was first designed for a 9 year old and an already shaped Rosewood back from Frank Gay's stock. I succesfully built  afew guitars with it, it is in the parlour catagory as it is only 18" long. Then one day  i discovered a resonator cone would fit perfectly into it and allow a 14th fret join  even with a cutaway. Excellent !  So I built this model for David Essig.  Rope binding just looks good on a resonator !
