dB2 AMX. Swamp ash body, quartersawn maple neck, ziricote fretboard.
The neck has a piece of swamp ash grafted on at the scarf joint for the headstock.
The ziricote fretboard has some beautiful “landscape” figuring in it, including some radiating lines along one edge that make it look like a sun setting behind rolling hills.
That Ziricote looks like a painting!
Yeah, the radiating lines along the one edge are just amazing. I didn’t even notice them really until i got it out in the sunshine. I’ll be doing my best to preserve that edge of the board when i’m slotting and shaping it.
