Dave Anderson - Grand Concert

[Dave Anderson]

Here's my latest build guys... Since I haven't posted a guitar here yet I figured I would show you this Grand Concert
I finished about a month ago.
It's got:
Adirondack red spruce top
Indian rosewood back and sides
Hon. mahogany 5 pc. neck
Bubinga binding
Brw.- bridge,rosette,peghead overlay
Ebony fingerboard.

[Arnt Rian]

Lovely guitar, Dave (as always)! So, what's holding the truss rod cover in place; magnet?

[Jim Bonnell]

Great looking guitar Dave and I know first hand from hearing it that it sounds great too. Dave brought it down to my house a few weeks ago.

[Steve Senseney]

Nice looking instrument.

How do you deal with humidity issues?

[Dave Hooper]

Thats a really nice guitar Dave

I like the rosette design!

[Dave Anderson]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. That's right Arnt, I used a couple tiny magnets instead of a screw on the truss rod cover.
Steve- I keep the RH in the 40's in my shop so it's never a problem.I have dehumidifier and humidifier and the AC unit does the job in the summer.

[Michael Lewis]

Looks nicely done, from here. Pretty over all design.

Thanks Michael !

[Chuck Tweedy]

Really nice Dave.
Your dehumidification system must make a lot of water down there in Florida!

[Ron Belanger]

Nice work Dave. I like the use of the magnets.

[Tim Detzer]

Can you Dave, or anyone recommend a set of plans for a grand concert?

[Clay Schaeffer]

Very nice Dave!
What is the saddle material? It almost looks opalescent in the closeup of the bridge and rosette.

[Dave Anderson]

Tim, I don't know of any plans for a Grand Concert sized guitar but I'm sure they're out there.
This is my own design. It's 15.25" lower bout, 10.75 upper, and 9.50 waist.
Clay, - The saddle is polished up unbleached bone.

[Len McIntosh]

Dave - i enjoyed your photos, your GC is really a work of art.

[Josh Humphrey]

Beautiful work! The finish work is so clean and tight. I love the choice of wood and design as well- congrats!

[Louie Atienza]

Very nice!

[Dave Anderson]

Thanks again for all the comments everyone.I sure appreciate it!
