Just a bit more sanding to do on the neck and it will be off to Tonys!
I had planned on dropping it off today, but my wife and I spent last evening at the ER with our youngest. All is well now, but I lost my friday evening in the shop

The back and sides are coco, from Brock, the top is TB Redwood from Hank, and all the BRW appointments are from Steve at Colonial, who STILL has the sweetest BRW stash on planet earth!

Beautiful Lance, as all your guitars are. I'd like to try a smaller body like that one day...looks very nice. Congrats!

Bill

Beautiful, Lance!  That one is going to really pop under a finish.

This one is for HGF. I should be able to squeek one more out before going, but certainly not the rack of four I was hoping to take.

Lance, I love those little Martin shapes.
For my money, they had the best eye for curves, and could really finesse a shape.
AND-- isn't this the one with the gorgeous peghead you posted a while back? This will be a guitar to drool over for sure.

Steve

She's a beauty Lance! I know from experience that the tones of the woods will darken with some finish on it, and I can already picture it that way.


I'm looking forward to seeing it finished

Sure is pretty, Lance! I love those little Martin shapes too. Be sure to show us how she looks after her "do" at Tony's!

Lance,

Looking real good!

Do the fretboard, and top have a radius?

Also, I noticed the poster in the background. Some of the best guitar playing I’ve ever heard was
by Michael Hedges. Got a bunch of his CD’s! Well, 3 or 4 anyway.

Robert

Lance,

That looks lovely. They'll love it at HGF I'm sure.

     I hate to say it, because I HATE small guitars but that looks PDG!

     I'm like a giant troll that lives under bridges and eats goats so all guitars are small to me, but a lot of you guys builds them so nice! This one is well on it's way!

   Yum - here comes another goat!! Gotta go!

REally pretty Lance! Be sure to post some pics after Tony gets through with it. Some white room shots would be nice.
