I've gotta say Hesh, that sure is a silky top! Anxious to hear what your opinion of the sound is. It sure looks good now though !

Right on! I'm really anxious too to see how that baby turns out...

What are the woods in the neck laminations, my friend? That sure looks fantastic!!!

That will be one sweet guitar. I cannot wait to see it with the black top.
Personally I love the idea of a black top with the Tiger Myrtle

Hesh, that looks great--as usual.
I've got a set of that Tiger Myrtle coming.
So, once again, what do you think of this stuff?

Hesh from the photos I would have never guessed that was a mahogany neck -- it really blends nicely with the Myrtle. What finish will be over the Myrtle - natural or will some colour be added?

Is Tony going to mask over the rosette or will it to be colour (dis)enhanced? Seriously that's gonna be tricky.

P.S. I am no Photoshop Pro -- I virtually enhanced the image, while at it -- I threw a couple of paint eating termites into the body. Black is their favorite colour!! Anthony Z39049.0677430556

    That's really gonna jump out with a black top! You think the myrtle will darken up a lot?

That is gonna make some sweet sounds, Hesh! You could make it different, but I don't think you could make it better.

Great looking little L-00 Hesh, right up with your build quality we have come to expect. The tiger looks cool. Black top eh!....

Good one Anthony!

I agree that taping that rosette off perfectly is going to be tricky indeed!!!

Can't wait to see that one all done!

Hesh... are you sending them to Tony with the neck attached, or will you unbolt it before you ship?

Great looking guitar btw.... I think it will look great with that black top.

I can't wait to see the finish work on this one. I think the black top will look cool.

I am with Don and can't wait to hear her, too! I have got to drop in and visit John since he is just a couple of counties away and see his lovely neck work.
