sorry, I want to paste the picture of rosetta. She looks like some kind of serpienta skin.beauty.

PacoPaella -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Oct. 26 2006 12:25:31)
I like it a lot, esp. the structure of the rosewood, i can almost hear it swing...also the design of the rosette is pretty cool. However to be honest idont like the bottom, i dont know how to describe it in english...the way the lines arent parallel in the fifth (or second to last) picture. It looks like it was unintentionally.

JBASHORUN -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Oct. 26 2006 12:36:04)
Beatiful, beautiful guitar! That Rosewood looks almost like walnut, very attractive grain pattern. Not for sale, eh? Anders keeps the best guitars for himself, it would seem... Jb

Ramón -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Oct. 26 2006 16:11:50)
Anders, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! WOW!...pantpantpant (my tongue is out like a thirsty dog! [:-] If it was a peghead, I might make an offer! lol... Beautiful work! Ramon

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Oct. 26 2006 17:52:43)
Thanks for the nice words. The guitar is not for sale for now. I need to follow some of my guitars to see how they devellop. I have a couple of Blancas not to far which I see once in a while, but no Negras. They are all to far away.[:-] I might sell it one day or I might keep it The non parrallel lines in the buttom is 100% intentional. Its called a wedge, but everyone has his/her taste of course.[;)]

very, very nice

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 7:59:42)
Thanks Gt. The guitar is 6 month old now and it still gets better. Of the Negras I´ve tried (My own and several others) this is the most flamenco. It likes to be played very close to the bridge

gt -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 10:01:55)
Sweet [:)]- do you think the rosewood plays a big part in making it sound the most flamenco? (as opposed to other building considerations) About 2 months ago I bought a headplate of madagascar rosewood because I saw a picture of it online and just wanted to see it in the flesh. Seeing yours, first one I have ever with back and sides like that, makes me want to try it for the next project - once I've finished the current one

Jim Opfer -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 11:19:08)
That's a beautiful heel. I like the roundness of the binding carried through onto the heel and the very gentle 'correction' of the heel curve line as it comes to the point (If you know what I'm trying to describe?) I'm not too keen on the 'big grain' back. I prefer to see a good simple and well shaped grain line as the one Tom posted on his guitar, but that's just me. I don't like natural grain wood rosettes but this one is very nice.

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 16:31:32)
Gt. Well, Madagascar rosewood is a very nice piece of wood. The problem is that its VERY difficult to get a good quality. The tree itself is small and few left. The good sound, I believe comes from good work. Next year I will build a negra with Malaysean Blackwood. I like very much the looks and taptone of that wood and it comes in good quality. Jim, taste is personal and most want dramatic grain in a Negra. I´m glad you like the rosette[;)]

Guest -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 17:13:34)
ohhhh [:-] , hello beauty whats you name ??? the guitarra is talking man i am listining to her sound , wel done andres wonderfull. is it for sale ? [8\|]

buleria -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 17:56:25)
If I was dancing with a guitarist playing this I think I would just put the guitar centre stage and go for a drink! A work of art. Karenanne. (ps think all that grain might clash with your heart capo though!!!!![:D])

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 18:21:57)
Thanks Karenanne. Its actually the guitar I use showing my hearts capo. [8D] Within the next year I´m planning to make a hearts rosette. Pink ebony hearts.... doublekk2: If you visit me and you really like the guitar, I might sell it, but I doubt. I just like to play that guitar.

Estevan -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Mar. 31 2007 19:08:54)
Yummy!

Francisco -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Apr. 1 2007 0:36:47)
That has to be the most beautiful back I have ever seen.

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Apr. 1 2007 8:46:05)
Thanks again. I have another set of Madagascar which is wilder, with spider webbing all over the center. Its going to be for the one who want something really special.

TANúñez -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Apr. 1 2007 17:07:17)
Wow Anders. Now that is stunning! what did you use for the binding? what do you use as a pour filler?

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Apr. 1 2007 17:14:13)
Tom The binding is Indian rosewood and I leave porefilling and French polish to my pro man. What do you use for filling pores?

TANúñez -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Apr. 1 2007 20:39:31)
So far I've only used some of that McFaddens pour filler sold through LMI. I've really only had to use it a few times. Once on a negra of Palo Escrito and very little on the headplates. It's great working with cypress as you don't need the stuff. I believe PauFerro doesn't have any pours to fill as well. Could be wrong though but this is what I've heard.

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Madagascar Rosewood Negra (Apr. 2 2007 7:55:39)
Pau ferro doesnt need pore filling. Use a mask, gloves and long sleeves when you final sand. Its bitchy for the skin. BTW. Pau ferro is nice for bindings on blancas because of that exact reason. When I French polished, I mostly used pumice stone. And I pore filled the rosewood bindings on my Blancas
