Thanks Guys, ND stands for - Not Dread

4 of the 6 are made of wood supplied right here on the OLF at RC Tonewoods. Actually there is a couple tops from Ed Dicks and a top from Hank Mauel as well. We're almost a stand alone community here.John How38462.5233564815

John,
Absolutely beautiful! I like the Sapele/Carpathian the best. What is the binding on this one?

Yeah, John, I'm w/ Tracy. That Sapele looks like a crowd-gatherer for sure.

Nice work.

John,
Nice work. Too bad you don't have necks for those.
Or, the ones in the pictures look a little skinny.

Thanks for sharing.

John,

Impressive work, beautiful guitars. Hard to pick a favorite, they are all so nice.

Make sure you have lots of business cards on your table, I think you will need them!

Jeff
