You all have probably seen this one before we headed to the Miami show?
Before the show I didn't have a chance to get any good pics for my website etc.
Recently my Dad bought a Nikon SLR and he came over last night and took these for me. Just in the nick of time I might add, as I shipped this guitar out to its owner today.

Here is the low down on this guitar.
Thanks for looking!

Model 000-OM Fingerstylist
24.9 scale
Top LS Redwood
B&S Master Grade Flamed Koa
Neck one piece Mahogany
Bindings Brazilian
Rosette Brazilian
Headstock Overlay Brazilian
Headstock back strap Koa
Fretboard Brazilian
Bridge Brazilian
Bridge pins, nut & saddle Fossil Walrus Ivory
Tuners 3 on a plate Waverlys with Snakewood buttons

That's just epic right there. Also on an entirely unrelated manner, Lance, i was wondering if you could tell me where you live and when you'll be out of your house :D

Thanks AZ!
I know the camera is a Nikon, but that's all I know about it, the back drop I got at an online photo supply shop for 80 bucks, and the lighting is made up of two 600 watt halogen cans with "barn doors" It made a super white light. My dad found them on Craig's list for 50 bucks for the pair.
Id like to try some light defusing next time. But I am quite happy with this first go round.

Lance I fiddled for hours with about 1000 watts of Halogens, back drop and Canon Rebel xTi DSLR on a tripod and got no where near as nice the results that you did.

Kragenbrink! You sure build a nice guitar! I really appreciate your style on these! Great photos too! Inspiring work!

As for the backdrop! I've got one of those that Sabre used to sleep on! (Sorry, just trying to be funny) :oops:

Lance - beautiful instument. I am a big fan of how you detailed the neck/body joint. How the cut-a-way transitions so smoothly into the heel. I must ask if I can steal that idea from you when I build my first c-a-w..... :lol:

The fit and finish is fantastic. Did Joe White do the finish?

As a former photographer, the shots are great! If you want diffusion, get a couple of frames and stretch some thin white bedsheet and put about 12 to 18" in front of the lights.

I see no pics! Just the little red X boxes. Pictures in other threads work fine, so it must be the server where the pics are being stored.....

Man Lance my friend this guitar is just way over the top cool!

The Koa and LS Redwood with BRW binding and rosette looks killer and I am sure sounds killer too.

The koa back plate on the head stock with BRW on the front is a touch that looks classy as can be.

And the pictures are about the best we have seen too.

What a fantastic effort Lance - you should be very, very proud! [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

Your Dad did a great job. The guitar is just the best I've seen on this forum.
Whoever got this one is a lucky fellow. I'll bet it was kind of hard to let it go eh?

I WISH!! :mrgreen: Honestly, Thanks for the compliment but that is more than likely the spectacular finish of Tony Ferguson. I'm sure Lance will correct me if I'm wrong.
I can't think of anything I don't like about this one Lance. It's a stunner. I love the tuners and buttons. Class all the way!
Get that thing up at the AGF! [clap]

Thanks Joe, heck I would love to post it up at the AFG, but im not yet a sponsor there. If I did it would be removed with in second wow7-eyes

Thanks guys for the kind comments. This one did turn out nice, I have to give the design credits to Mike Crixell (the owner) he sent me
the most detailed list of specs I have ever worked from! ;)

purdy! 14 fret slotted-head, I like! Must be the creeping classical influence, but I'm starting to think that slotted heads are just the right thing to do.
