A pair of 8-string guitars

 

A pair of twin 8 string guitars I started late last year but took a long time to finish as I tried to learn how to apply nitrocellulose lacquer.  Besides these I also recently finished another two and now I am confident to offer it as standard finish for the back, sides and neck.  The soundboards will continue to be french polished.

-lattice braced cedar soundboard, Brazilian rosewood bridge.
-intense purple Indian rosewood body and headplate
-Cedro and wenge neck with Amazon rosewood fingerboard.

They are for a very musical (and dear to me) Romanian duo and I hope to post a video as soon as they acquaint themselves with the instruments.

Edit: two live clips fished on YT after the photos.
