B/S Ziricote, dreadnought No. 147

$364.76

Cordia dodecandra

Ziricote is most striking in appearance, similar to Brazilian Rosewood but in shades of grays and olive greens with black lines. Heavier than most Rosewoods, it works somewhat like Ebony. It tends to be brittle, but what it lacks in workability it more than makes up for in tonality. It is used by James Goodall Guitars and Breedlove Guitars for some of their finest models. It has also been used by a number of discriminating classical and steel string builders such as Mark Blanchard, Michael Bashkin and Gerald Sheppard.

    Bend sides to classical shape based on our PL28 plan (ref: SVSBC)

    We bend classical sides to the 1966 Ramirez plan (plan SKU PL28, template SKU SPT1). This is very close to both the '37 Hauser plan (plan SKU PL64, template SKU SPT14)  and the '43/'48 Hauser plan (plan SKU PL40, template SKU SPT2)(they are both slightly smaller but very close) so this customization will work for all three.

Have us install your backstrip. You must have chosen a backstrip and asked us to join your back in the previous selections. We sandwich the backstrip in between the back plates rather than rout and inlay. 

If there is not a choice here it is because we are unable to insert a backstrip. This is typically because you have chosen a 3-piece back.

If you have elected to have us join your back, you may also wish to have us profile it. We will profile your back to the shape you choose leaving approximately 1/4 inch of extra material beyond the outline. This excess material can be removed later, once your box is complete, using a router with a flush trim bit or by other appropriate means. These options are filtered to work with the back and side set you are purchasing.
