The New Taran Mhor







I've been getting alot of interest in this new guitar. The Taran Mhor was the First Guitar that I offered, but as my work is developing I want each model to keep up so I redesigned the Taran Mhor and here she is. Still an OM size guitar but with a new body shape and redesigned soundboard. I've used the basic bracing pattern on other guitars and am pleased with the results, I can't wait to get her back from Dave (the gloss boss) and see if the new design does everything I hope. Here are a few picture of her. The Back and sides are Madagascar Rosewood, with Swiss Alpine Spruce soundboard and a Brazilian Mahogany Neck and Brazilian rosewood bindings reclaimed from an old Billiard Q handles with single herringbone purflings.
