Waterfall was the name given to my first semi acoustic build, serial number 103, so my third guitar. It was one of two spectacular pieces of waterfall Bubinga I selected on a visit to Timberline in Tunbridge Wells.

I can’t make my mind up on the next instrument to build: I have jointed two tops: an ancient Sequoia and a spalted London Plane. The Sequoia has the most violent flame of any piece of wood I have ever worked. Too violent?
