Official Luthiers Forum!

As a non participant, I am curious as to the status of Lance's OLF guitar. Did
you guys finish it and give it to him???? I would love to see picts of him with
it.

Andy I believe it is still in construction. I was to get pictures when the guitar was completed to pick from to make the makers/dedication label. I have not seen any yet.

I think I heard that it was at Addam Starks shop for lacquer but I'm not 100% sure.

John K. sent it to Addam, that's correct. Any update Addam? Of course you know we'd all like to see pics of it. I see Addam's post that he received it on July 7 or thereabouts.

Here is a link to Brock's posts about this guitar if anyone wants to take a peek:

This guitar was conceptualized and started to honor the one year anniversary of the Official Luthier's Forum: August 19, 2004. When Addam finishes up, it goes then to Tim McKnight for final setup, bridge, fretting, etc. Should be a sweet little guitar.

I think there were a few more pics after this, anyone know where they are?

Looking great guys, keep it up!

ok I know what picture I want for the makers label. A real good close-up of the peghead at a slight angle, once finished and strung

If it's going to be a watermark in the background, you should use this one. With printing all over it you mostly loose the background pic anyway. And it'd be ready to go when the time comes.

I want the full peghead, tuners, strings and maybe a fret or two showing and at a slight angle. I got a reason believe it or not

Good, always thinkin' aren't you Michael?

Froggie label... Craig will like that for sure...

Thanks Bruce, but this guitar is about the OLF.
A froggy label is nice, but I don't want the inlay taking precedence over anything else. There are many other people here that added as much if not more to the guitar. Let's not focus on one part of it.

If you all want froggy there then fine, but I'm fine if it's not. Maybe a mini-image of the whole guitar on it?
can this be done?
Are the builders and donors all signing the label anyway?

The builders will all be signing the original plans drawn by John How, which I just found AGAIN after my wife hid them away AGAIN when I was about to mail them to Matt Gage. (She's a cleaning fanatic)
So I decided that I will bring them to Matt at the Newport show and have him sign it there, then mail it on to Paul Woolson.

That is, if I can find them again...

Only badly."

Do you think there's any chance we can get a label together for this so that we can send it on with plans? That way we won't have to do two seperate mailings and things will get done quicker. Let me know if I can help out with that.
Don, you have my address still?

I have been sitting on this label for over a year because we wanted the finished guitar or a portion of the finished guitar as the background for the label. All I need to finish the label is photos of the the guitar to choose from for this background. The dedication and names are on there. There is not room for signatures.

Here is the Label with the "old" OLF opening page as the background

Not my idea. I don't have a clue except it includes a shot of the headstock and inlay on the label?

We'll all see together, ay?

But you do have to admit the guy who did the inlay did a class job.

Hey Michael

"Apperception" is a perfectly good word but did you mean "appreciation"?

Oh and Lance's last name has a "g" in the middle instead of a "k".John How38933.4667708333

This was submitted to the group well over a year ago and design aproved by everyone. The background was high contrast and it was thought that it was hard to read the text so the contrast was reduced on the back ground. Also we were in agreement that we would us a photo shot of the actual guitar when completed Spellings are corrected as of this morning. If the design is not to your liking then I supose we can re hash it. so let me know and when I get back off of vacation I will rework it.

It looks like a cool label to me!
I do agree that a picture of the actual guitar would be nice.

Okay that looks great. I thought you said you were leaving all the names off. I see you weren't. Michael sorry for the misunderstanding.

An OLF apology from my

This might be a good time to ask:

DID WE LEAVE ANYONE OFF THAT PARTICIPATED?

Shouldn't Serge be on the list just out of principle!!!!

Andy, this is build #1 not Build #2 MichaelP38933.588287037

Just so no one is confused. This label is for the one year of the forum thank-you to Lance AKA build #1
This is not the OLF SJ Build #2 project. I think some may be confusing the two.
