Awesome!!! Love the combination with the snakewood binding. Looks like today is picture day from Jill Ferguson. She sent me picts of mine too. In the backround I saw 3-4 other guitars. It looks like a bunch of us are keeping Tony Busy. Clearly yours is the nicest Lance. Just stunning!!!! Mine is the front one with the sunburst neck and Mac Ebony....a parlor guitar Pict wont upload...  |

Very nice lance, I am just surprised at how good that snakewood looks with the TBwood. Is that Tony's standard polyester finish? Andy, that ebony guitar looks great. The neck burst is a stroke of genius. It returns all the colors of the body very well. |

But now with finish on it, its just as I had hoped it would be. That is Tony's Urethane finish. |

You guys quit it. Dang, I'm considering subbing out my finishing. Great job Lance and Andy. I love the Taz and the Macassar. The burst on the slotted neck shows some real class. Superwork guys! |

Nice pics. While I don't build like the rest of you do, I couldn't help but comment...Lance, yours looks absolutely stunning, a truly beautiful guitar, and what a great wood purchase from Don. And Andy, yours has more of the "WOW!" effect, a really unique look. Great job guys! Craig |
