I saw that guitar at Healdsburg. It was beautiful. I think I saw a Fine Guitar Consultants tag on it the last day, so I'm not the only one who thought so.

I'm lucky if I can do a neck in four days.

4 days John but what you haven't told us is that there are 24hrs in a day and I have heard it said that you tend to work 20+/- hrs in a day.

That is truly one nice guitar John. What is b/s? Quilted Mahogany? Very nice bookmatching there.Rod True38632.7661574074

Haha... yeah they were 4 VERY long days. Probably more like 16+ hour
days, but I was pooped after it for sure.

It is quilted sapele I got from Bob C. Awesome stuff.
