[QUOTE=Sam Price] My gosh, what a stunning body!!!

Very neat binding too.[/QUOTE]

Sam shame on you -- you of all people making such a sexest comment

Alain -- before we get to the binding -- great job on the cutaway.

The binding and mitres of course look perfect. Gotta love Koa!

Woo hoo -- my 1001st post -- thanks for pointing out the 1000th Steve -- I would have missed it.

Thanks a lot guys!

Rod, for sure we'll have to meet someday... There's a few of your beautiful guitars that I'd love to try... Plus, I've always wanted to visit the West Coast anyhow...

Joe, you're very welcome. Hope it can help.

Anthony, I do love koa!!!   Not only does is look fantastic, it bends like butter. (at least the bindings do...) Using CA and sawdust also work extremely well with it. Great stuff! And congrats on the 1000th post... Here's looking forward to many thousands more!!!! (raising single malt in salute!)

Yes, come on out. It's nice and rainy most of the year. The shop is a good place to hang out.
