Took me a while to get this one done as it required a few extra steps....
but will be ready to ship next week.
I will show it to Kevin Ryan after I'm done with the setup, shot some nice pics and off it goes.
Thanks for looking!

Holy WOW mon! Thats REALLY nice. I assume those are bloodwood bindings. How on earth did you get them to bend around the cutaway??? I've given up on bloodwood on Venecian cutaways. The runout gets me every time. The whole instrument is just gorgeous. Is the faceted heel an original idea? Did you Tru-Oil The neck? Thanks for the great pics. |

Really gorgeous, Peter. Is that pinless brige Doolin-style? If so, where do you get the hardware? |

[QUOTE=azimmer1] That is one of the best I have seen ever on this forum!!!!! WOW!!!!![/QUOTE] Yep...for me personally, that would be in the top 3 guitars I have ever seen displayed on this site - perhaps anywhere to be honest. That guitar just WORKS in its entirety. Yeah Peter you're going to have to come across with a few details about all the, well, details on that guitar. Maybe even a few more photos if you have them. C'mon man...the crowd is cryin' for more.

Seriously fine looking axe Peter. Down to the backstrap and fine inlay on the headstock. You're just trying to make the rest of us squirm aren't you!
