To head to finish.
This is yet another LS Redwood Cocobolo OMFS. This will have flamed Koa bindings and rosette, Ebony fretboard, bridge, overlay and back strap. Baring any set backs (I shouldnt have said that) This one will be headed to Tonys a week from today.



This one is being finished and should be done in two weeks



And this one will be coming home next Saturday!







This one came home last Saturday and will be my first to be ready for Healdsburg.







Thanks for looking!

They are all beauties Lance. I'll bet that your excitement is building as it gets closer and closer to HGF.

The figure and finish on the guitar in that last photo is just stunning. Keep up the great work.

Cheers,
Peter

Lance, are you related to Peter?  Y'all are puttin em out like nobody I ever seen!  Both of those are killer guitars.  Can't wait to see the finished products.  The Zoot in that last shot just jumps off the guitar.  Amazing!

Lovely...

Question: what's your rationale for using reverse kerfed lining for the back, and 'regular flavor' for the top?

Andy, you going to be at HGF? Cool deal!

Mattia, its what I happen to have on hand
Matt, cant wait bro! Its gonna be a blast!

Gary, I saw your beauty there, wonderful looking guitar!

Thanks Hesh, yes the clamps are squeezing the sides to the back while the glue dries.

Terence, yes that coco was the sister set to this one, Good memory! I think we talked about this like two years ago!



Thanks all for your kind comments, they are like fuel for my fire!

Wow Lance,

That coco just bowls me over, (get it, get it, coco bowls me over ) Seriously, it is just THE most stunning set of wood and your clean crisp style and skills combined with Tony's brilliance has done full justice to it. If this guitar sounds anywhere near as good as it looks it is certain to really get you some well deserved recognition at the show.

Good luck M8

Cheers

Kim
