cover and Eye Candy pages of this months Guitarmaker. Congrats Craig Sullivan. I have to say that is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever laid eyes upon. Maylasian blackwood built for his son Geoff with some absolutly gorgeous inlays. Simply awesome Craig.

You're right! Of course, I've had the good fortune of seeing that guitar up close and personal. Craig has been a member of the New England Luthiers group from Day 1, and we've had the opportunity to see other things he has done. Craig's work is amazing. He's a guy who has the ability to sell a lot of guitars once he retires from his job and goes toward guitar making as a 2nd career. He does great work. I tell you, there's a number of great builders here in New England, and we've been fortunate to be able to see some mighty impressive work.Don Williams38796.3702199074

Thanks Bob and everyone. It was a big surprise for me too! They don't tell
you before hand if they're using your images or not after you submit
them. I've posted the pics here before, so I don't want to wear out my
welcome, but here's a couple from the magazine. Don, you're making me
blush again.

Hey Craig, you sure you got those images large enough for us?


Do you have a shot of the back?

Sorry Don, I don't quite know what I did to make them that big. I'm not
usually that pushy. As far as the back is concerned, I don't dare post
another pic. The images I have of the back are too dark and don't really
show tha wood well. Matt, thanks for the kind words. It's time for me to
crawl back into my quiet world where I feel much more comfortable.
