[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Looking great Martin as always. I think you are the first one that has turned this cool promotional wood into a guitar. [/QUOTE]

He has an original way of bending time....just like the way he bends wood with the wallpaper stripper...

Martin, it must be wonderful to look at your own progress via photos. I know I'm amazed.

Each build gets better and better.

Martin, that's great.
I love the color scheme, and think that the maple bindings are just the trick.

HOPEFULLY I'll get the bindings on today, but I'll need to stall it then for a week or two as I need to order fretboards from Stewmac.

Ah well, it'll give the granadillo a chance to settle with the local humidity!!

Looks great Martin! I can't wait to do something with the set I got from them. Maybe after I get this next commission finished.

Odd....I can't see the picture...all I see is a box with an X in it.
