What about small dots on the left side of the frets? Similar to Godin?

Not sure what Godin uses but I stole the idea from Brian Gallup. These are small brass tubes.

Oh, they just small dots on the fretboard, like your side markers. They're
very inconspicuous. If you try to keep dots off your fretboards, it could
be worth a look.

Congrats Paul - the recognition is well deserved!

P.S. Tootin' is fine as long as it's reciprocated and done In-Kind. Otherwise it is just plain self centred Tootin'

Looks and sounds great!

Neat truss rod cover. The eye had a hard time telling the outline. Beautiful.

What's really neat IMHO is that we can all say if in a small way, I know this guy!

Congrats Paul.

Microsmurf, Though he's usually being a spaz, this time John was just referring to an inside joke.
I had one of the quilted sapele guitars at HGF '05. Because I wasn't a superstar, very few people would stop at my table except just to ask, "what kind of wood is that?"
"It's quilted Sapele".
"Hmm, it's cool". and keep on walking.

Paul,

Brag on, my friend! Looks terrific, sounds even better. What a big, bold, sweet sound on the lutz/sapele! The LG is cool, too. There's just something about those all-mahogany guits....

I'm with you on keeping the 'board all-wood. BTW, I think that LMI has 2mm dots!

I just made up silly answers to that question while you were away.       Hope you don't mind.

I have a feeling that is going to change before too long. Great looking and sounding guitars, Paul! I like your distinct style and clean designs, it really sets you apart from the crowd.
