Finally with strings!
This is my LS Koa 000-OM Fingerstylist. My first OMFS with a 24.9 scale.
IT sounds tremendous! Very lush.

This will be going to Miami with me and then to Montreal before it heads off to its
owner Mike Crixell. Mike gave me the green light to show it in as many shows as I can
before sending it to him!
I should have some pro shots after the show, but this is it for now.

Why don't you send it to me and I'll be happy to get it to Mike. I'm not kidding.

Wow Lance
Beautiful work! I love that little ring inside the soundhole. Such elegance. Perfect combinations of woods.

How many guitars are you taking to Miami, and how are you getting there?

I am just astonished how close to the sound hole your rosette appears to be. Aren't you afraid when you route the channel you are going to lose bits of the top? I love the koa and the nice dark color of the top. Lovely instrument.

Thanks Guys,

John, Brock and I are flying in Thursday at around noon. IM taking three new ones and a client of mine is bringing one of mine that is about three years old. John Creech and his LS/Indian E2.
Also, the ring is a piece of Brazilian with sapwood (Mikes request) that is thinned to .023 then wrapped it around the inside and glued it in.

Skyhigh, the Koa came from Volcano. OLF Sponsor.

I agree with Sam about that first shot.
What a beauty.
Put that one on your web site, Lance.

That's a beauty, Lance.

Figured Koa? - sweet
Handmade Kragenbrink guitar? - classy
Sapwood in the soundhole cap? - Priceless!

Wow, Lance. That's a seriously beautiful guitar. Thanks for the inspiration!

How I wish I could make the trip to Miami! It just couldn't happen this year. But I plan to be there exhibiting next time around.

Good luck to you and everyone else who'll be there! I hope you all sell a lot of guitars. I look forward to hearing all about it.
