Matt, I had no idea it was going to be that gorgeous. Beautiful Koa bro...it's a winner, and you really set the bar another notch higher for the rest of us again. Hey...can we see the headstock? |

Matt, that's really nice. Simple appointments and fine workmanship often produce exceptional guitars, and I'll wager that that's the case here! |

That's some seriously sweet piece of workmanship. I really love that simple old Martin headstock shape too. Really great Matt. I knew it would come out great, although I don't know how you're doing it all considering everything going on right now for you! |

Matt... That's one fine looking piece. I love it's simplicity. I'm a sucker for Tortoise (sp) binding, and the Koa looks choice. What design plan is this one? I'd love to tackle something like that in the future...It's looks to be a Grand Auditorium of sorts?

Beautiful guitar Matt! Koa is one of my top two favorite woods (the other being Mad. Rosewood). I also like the headstock. Pete |

Thanks very much, I use a template from "the" 1928 Martin OM that Tj.Thompson was kind enough to share with me. This cutaway was only the second one I have bent successfully on my fox bender. all my previous ones were bent by hand on the hot pipe. Koa and sitka are an awesome combo, and i was very pleased with the sound of this guitar. thanks again. Matt |

Elegant guitar, the tortoise binding was a great choice to go with that Koa. Every time I look at my old Martins I think to myself that I must use some tortoise and then never get round to it. Colin |

That's one fine stringed instrument! It will make a lot of people happy through the next two or three hundred years... You can be proud.
