A little sister is born in the Brooks family!
Built by me.
It's a gift from my youngest sister to her husband (check the 12th fret inlay).
The tailpiece was made by my other sister, who is a goldsmith.
So it's really a family affair 😉

Beautiful !

Tasteful and stunning!
-
That came out great!
-
Beautiful. I like the tailpiece a lot. Does Pauline take orders?
-
Thank you guys.
Yes, Pauline does take orders.
Most of the time it's for jewelery.
But she told me she really enjoyed making this piece of hardware very much. So I guess she wouldn't mind making another one ;-)
-
Wow ! What a beauty.
-
Awesome work! Looks beautiful.
-
That's gorgeous, and what a great back story!

Beautiful!

Thank you guys.
My good friend Frank played the guitar for me so I could make a little video

That is even MORE than nice!
-
Outright bloody gorgeous! My hat's off to you.

A great job, Rob! And it being a family affair is even nicer! I read it with a big smile!!
The guitar reminds me a bit of B&G from Israel. They're doing well, so no bad comparison.

Haha, why do you think I wrote that a Little Sister was born!😜

"a bit" ;)
I wanted them to build me a short-scale bass version of the non-cutaway Little Sister, they said they will contact me when they do a short scale bass, still waiting for that call...

Guess I could build you one if B&G never responds. ;)
