Sorry Lance,

Hope you do not mind but I could not resist using photoshop to brighten the image a bit to better see the detail



What beautiful wood and what a very beautiful guitar this is

Cheers

Kim

I love it, Lance! Great wood, beautiful shape, we know the details are perfect and the finish will be superb; I think we have a winner!

Great looking headstock, very very clean work, the square cuts on the tops of the slots look perfect. How did you do that? Chisel?

It took a little more than just maple....

Lance certainly did that wood justice... (I knew he would) but I have since questioned the sanity of that decision. :-)
