Here are 2 units ( build #2-3) just coming out of the hopper recently. The OLF was a great resource during these , and I thank you all for help I recieved during the trials.

Need to work on the photo thing,looks like.

They are a 00-40 Mahogany, and a 000-40 Brazilian 12 fret on a 14 body.

Mike; Thanks for the Compliments ....I think they sound great .....but i'm going to pass em around a bit to get feedback.

I have 3 more started...so much invested in luthier tools now...I can't back out.

I have a Martin , and they seem to compare well to that. I'm sure I'm biased.

Your not far behind John.....stay the course.

4-5-6 in the backround. A 00...a 000 and a slope shouldered Dred.
I studied inlay (and still do) with David Nichols (Custom Pearl Inlay)...really enjoy the inlay part.

I'm workin on better photos.

I really like the way you detailed the headstock slots. Very nice!
What's the finish? It looks flawless in the pics!

I never saw it Alain. No harm done.

Regardless of how these guitars look, I'm as green as anyone here. I won't go into all the stupid things I've done, so far.

Most of the rest of us are green with envy. I won't go into the stupid mistakes part!
Dave used to hate everytime I'd call. He knew he had to cut out more "JBrentrup" logos and always said "Not you again!"
