OK kids, give this one a try!

I cropped off the peghead...that would have made it too easy








Happy lard hunting!

Creative and attractive design--I like it! It's got to be someone on your side of the Atlantic.

OK...time for a little hint:

This builder is better known for solid bodies than for archtops...

No guess but am inspired to say the least. That is a STUNNING guitar.

Don't know who the builder is, but he certainly has great taste when picking out his koa.

That's very cool looking archtop. I went to his website and looked at the other pictures -- I have no idea how he joins the neck to the body.

Its somehow mounted on that square looking piece of brass or whatever - that goes into a block that has an imbedded bolt in it that can be accessed from under the little knobby on the back - I wonder if he inlaid the olive wher it is so as to not have to join the back purfling right there !!! Long one piece strips, no joints .... hmmm...easy, and pretty too. Also very nice way of suspending the pickguard - rounded brass plate to the bottom of the neck, way out of site, very stable.
