WOW JOHN HOW. Very beautiful work my friend. Really awesome looking guitar. The HRW looks great under that varnish. Lots of work on a varnish finish but it imparts a glow that you just can't achieve with laquer.

John, you've done it again. Oh, and that's a good thing!

What's the string spacing at the saddle?

Beautiful, work, John! The finish just glows with warmth. I especially like the effect it has on the top.

Your client is sure to be pleased.

Let us know how the varnish works out over time, if possible.

Very sensuous shape and I like how the neck stripe appears to continue down the back, almost the same color. Ties the neck and body together very nicely. Lovely.

John, one more question please!

Did you apply that varnish with a foam brush, a paint brush or cloth?

John your work is--as always--inspiring.
I love that shape, and I think your bridge compliments it perfectly.

Great guitar, as always, John nice and clean looking. What do you think of the sound. OK with a Euro top it's going to be good but what does the Honduran RW add?
