Here's the current batch, now in various stages of completion. Left to right 13 fret 00 in Lutz over FB Mahog, Dreadnaught in Lutz over BRW, OM Lutz over Pau Ferro, and 00 Engelmann over FB Mahog.. All the woodworking is done on all 4 and Tony has the 13 fretter and is putting on a sunburst finish. I'm doing the balance of the finishing and I'm gearing up to do the other three in the next couple of weeks.

I'm not making any of the festivals this year as these have been taking up most of my time lately. My next project will likely be even more time consuming. I'm building an early 30's OM with vintage specs. Bar frets, hide glue, ebony neck reinforcing, banjo tuners, etc., etc. Should be fun.

Looks great Jimmy, how about a back shot and a wee closer this time too. Are those dovetail necks I see there?

Agreed, we need more shots.
Might I request a close-up of the rosettes?
Which by the way, look like they are all of a pattern.
Theme guitars?

Beautiful as always Jimmy, thanks for posting.

Steve
