So after being in touch with you all the guitar which was most popular was the Tirga Beag my large OM model. (please visit my website www.taranguitars.co.uk for the spec)
I've decided to build her out of Indian Rosewood and Italian Spruce (red spruce), for the neck I was thinking about using Madagascan or Honduras rosewood however after some extensive experiments, (building a whole guitar with a Madagascan Neck) I have decided to use Brazilian Mahogany as I found that the Madagascan Rosewood focuses and thins the sound which is not to my liking.
Here is the raw materials for the back, sides and front. Stefan Sobell was kind enough to sell me some Indian that he has had since May 03. 7 years in his workshop means that it is extremely well seasoned and sounds very similar to good quality Rio.
For detailing I have decided on simple and elegant black and white. There will be a special bit of detailing all will be reviled.
