Well getting down to the nitty gritty on the Thinline SJ. The finish is on and buffed the neck has been fitted but not final leveled yet. I am waiting on some Paua slotted diamond position markers to arrive. I am not sure what it is about this wood combo but I love it. I hope it sound as good as it looks. We will now in just a few days





Controlled lighting pictures to come after all is glued up

Michael that is looking great. I also would like to know how it sounds. I have a feeling it's going to sound fantastic.

Very Very Nice
Have you made a thinline SJ before?
I am curious to the volume, sustain etc on such a thin guitar

Now THERE'S a one-of-a-kind guitar! Mighty handsome. I hope your buyer plays out a lot, 'cause that one's gonna command much attention!

BTW, Michael, that's got to be one of the best examples of making lemonade out of lemons that I've ever seen! I bow to the master.

Michael, what a beauty -- you sure execute fabulous rosette and wood combinations.

How thin is it at the neck and tail block?

Michael,

Looks like a typical Texas lawn to me!

Also, that is a sweet guitar. The finish really popped the figure, didn't it? Wow, she's purty.

Not quite what I asked, I'll try again.

What is the depth at the neck block and the tail block?
